Oprah Selects Mary Lawson's Solace in Winter as 126th Book Club Pick

Oprah Winfrey selected Mary Lawson’s Solace in Winter as her 126th Oprah’s Book Club pick, calling the novel beautifully written and deeply moving. Set in a small Northern Ontario town in 1969, it follows widower Jack Gallagher, whose life changes when he shelters an injured dog and a young American fleeing the Vietnam War draft. Lawson initially suspected Oprah’s call was a scam, but the two later announced the selection together on CBS Mornings.
