Definitivamente este libro ya se convirtió en uno de mis favoritos.

La historia toma lugar durante la Gran Depresión en USA. Es una historia dura, ver cómo una madre hace todo lo que sea necesario para que sus hijos no pasen peligro, hambre. Estoy sin palabras

Claramente seguiré leyendo más libros de la autora

My first Kristin Hannah book, after hearing great praises for her work. It didn’t work for me. Reading this felt like and exaggeration of sad misfortunes thrown into a predictable, too long book. I enjoyed reading about the Dust Bowl and what it represented, but the plot and characters were underdeveloped and very flat.
