The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah
2.0
\\edit: I lowered my rating from 4 to 2 stars. I grappled over whether this story was just meant to focus on white and Italian Immigrants, and if that was ~okay~. I still felt the ick and have continued feeling the ick as I picked up my second KH book. Bottom line, this is a whitewashed history that compares her white characters’ conditions/plight to Black enslavement. Let’s talk about it.
//end edit
I liked the characters, appreciated learning more about this era, and yep I cried. Some repetition was annoying—like the repeated disgust of, “this is America!” Or “this is unAmerican!” Thinking that this was sarcasm after reading her authors note though.
Heads up: This book definitely put me in a funk—it’s not a light read.
