“The Nightingale That Sang in Winter” is a collection of New Year stories capable of melting inner cold and filling the holiday days with the warmth of a true miracle. Just open the book—and these stories will help you believe in magic again. At the end of December, you can feel it especially clearly: something good is about to happen. Since childhood—school morning performances, Christmas trees, and waiting for Father Frost—we’ve learned to hope for a miracle at this time. And it happens: in the middle of winter, a nightingale suddenly sings; someone finds the meaning of life again; a doctor saves what seemed like an hopeless patient; the daughter, who has lost her parents, receives a message from the past from her father; and people who have long lost each other meet again. Perhaps it’s hope that makes these great and small miracles possible. This book brings together a whole selection of stories about all kinds of miracles happening in the days before New Year and at Christmas—so everyone can find their own spark of magic here.
