Fantastic read. Beautifully written and well-paced. This was the first of Kristin Hannah’s books I have read, and I was not disappointed. It is, at times, quite a confronting and heart-wrenching read, but it’s worth it!
Hannah’s writing is poetic, and lyrical, but at the same time succinct and easy to follow. The historical aspect of the book is clearly well researched and insightful.
It is a story that is definitely relevant now. It has a lot to teach about avoiding a repeat of some of the mistakes of history in tough times.
