I was not expecting that ending. Hannah did an excellent job of bringing the characters and the times to life in this one. While this took place during the Dust Bowl, it‘s still very timely and relevant. Loved this.

Litsy, you know I didn‘t pick this for myself. It was for bookclub. This was a story of a woman and her journey from sickly daughter to wife to single mother from the Great Depression to the Dust Bowl to her journey to the West. It‘s a hardscrabble life. Everything was so hard and sad. It‘s a good, compelling story but I didn‘t think the writing was all that. My first and last Hannah. A lot of the women at bookclub did not care for this AT ALL.

TrishB I stopped reading Hannah after 2, that was enough. 3mo
Lesliereadsalot Only made it through about a third of this one. So boring. 3mo
TheLudicReader I hated the ending. 3mo

sarahbarnes I‘ve never felt compelled to read her. 3mo
Deblovestoread I hated the ending too. Wanted to throw the book across the room and then stomp on it for good measure. My first and so far only of hers. 3mo
Reggie @sarahbarnes I see so many people read her so I was like well I guess I‘ll see what it‘s all about. Not my thing. 3mo
Reggie @Lucidreader @Deblovestoread oh man, there were 4 women at bookclub who were pissed at the ending. They were so angry. Like why write a book about a woman, only to do that to her in the end. 3mo
Reggie @TrishB I hear a lot of them are sad. This one was enough for me. 3mo
Reggie @Lesliereadsalot you saved yourself a lot of heartache. Lol 3mo
Suet624 Ugh. I liked Hannah‘s first one but the others are 👎🏻 3mo
kspenmoll I am so glad to see your posts! This author never appealed to me. Good review! 3mo

Very interesting subject, but it meanders a little in the middle.

Spending my work lunch snacking on some cheese and continuing The Dust Bowl Orphans. I'm about half way theough and enjoying it so far. I'm enjoying the chapters during the dust bowl much more than the present day chapters. I don't feel like the past-present chapters are always necessary.

This book has grabbed me and I‘m reading it fast which is unusual for me. Getting cold on the east coast of 🇦🇺 much to my disgust. Here I am drinking my delicious weekend just gone margarita in the hammock with gloves, a blanket and a🧣on 😭. I was still 🥶! Reminiscing about the Australian dust storms last drought! My parents have retired and no longer live on a farm so no more dust storms for them or me! My parents once lost each other in 1.

Cuilin I like your style. It‘s forever summer if you have a hammock and a margarita. Keep warm. I hope to read this one too. 5mo
