The Four Winds
by Kristin Hannah
Let me begin by saying this is my first Kristin Hannah book. I have heard of her, of course, and her books are on my TBR, but I never have gotten around to reading one of her books. My book club chose this book from @bookofthemonth this month and honestly it wasn’t my first choice. BUT I figured, okay, we will see what all this “Kristin Hannah” hype is about and this book is out of my normal comfort zone of cutesy romances and thrillers........
Well, needless to say, it did not disappoint. The Four Winds is my first five star book of 2021. When I finished it (as I was sobbing) all I could think was wow. WOW! First off the writing is beautiful. Kristin Hannah can make you feel like you are living in the Dust Bowl. I could swear I could taste the dust at times. The struggles that Elsa goes through made me ashamed of things that I thought were “hard” in my life. Granted we are from two very different times.
Overall though I found this story to be a love story. A love story between a mother and her children. What a mother sacrifice in order to make her children happy, keep them safe, and worse of all, alive. Elsa is a warrior, who clawed her way through life from the beginning.
I leave you with this: “A warrior believes in an end she can’t see and fights for it. A warrior never gives up. A warrior fight for those weaker than herself. It sounds like motherhood to me.”
I hope someday I can be a warrior like Elsa.
