The Four Winds | Kristin Hannah

The four winds have blown us here, people from all across the country, to the very edge of this great land, and now, at last, we make our stand, fight for what we know to be right. We fight for our American dream, that it will be possible again.

“That old bag has no right to judge you. Stare her down,” Jack said, and urged her to keep walking.

dabbe @Cuilin You don't have to read if you don't want to, my friend. It's a heart-wrencher, but the best book I have ever read about the Dust Bowl period. 🩵🩶🩵 1mo

Cuilin Oh I‘m “enjoying” it. So many people have said it‘s very depressing, but Goodreads describes it as a “tribute to hope and inner strength”. I‘ll continue. For now anyway. Plus, I plan on reading the Grapes of Wrath, in Nov with the #HashBrigade. Same time period, correct? 1mo

dabbe @Cuilin Yep. The Joads in that book are like Livie's family; they move west to get out of the dust. 1mo

Doll8455 Read the Grapes of Wrath. I‘ve read it several times in my 82 years. At 20 at 50 at 80. It makes all problems disappear when you realize how good we have it now. 1mo

dabbe @Doll8455 LOVED that book. This one is a solid companion to it. And, yes, we do have it so much better now in many ways. 1mo

I wasn‘t a Swamplandia fan and thus initially passed this one up, so I‘m glad the #NBAlonglist for fiction got me to read it. I found this unique Dust Bowl historical fiction with some fantastical components to be fully engrossing. The characters are great and I like that we hear rotating perspectives from them, which helps keep the book moving. I really liked it!

Aims42 Ooo, awesome review! I have this on my TBR pile, I‘ll put it towards the top now 👍 1mo

squirrelbrain Great review! I just started this…. 1mo

Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain I‘m so interested to see what you think of it! 1mo
