When winter is cold and warmth is needed
If you are into action and flaming hearts, this drama is definitely not for you. The stories told here draw you in slowly. They keep you interested and make you feel the unspoken pain, the solitude, the loneliness the main characters live with. But the pain is bearable, because in all this bitter coldness and icy numbness of winter you can already sense that spring will come, and the ice will thaw.
I was fascinated by how beautifully the contrasts were shown. The cold and stillness outside, the frozen atmosphere in the FL’s home — and then the warm bookstore with its tea, colors, and the gentle togetherness of the book club. Winter becomes the screen on which past pain wants to be seen, spoken of, and healed.
A lot of opening up and healing has to be done in When the Weather Is Fine, and the thawing is slow. But it happens — just like nature does it every year.
