The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah
3.0
Listened via Libro.Fm
I hadn't ever read anything from the Dust Bowl time period or anything of Kristin Hannah's. A lot of Elsa's life felt comparable to my own/my family and she reminded me a lot of my mother—much stronger and more beautiful than family gave her credit for. This book was LONG. And bleak. And I can tell Hannah tried to fit in as much about the time period as possible, but at about chapter 28 or so it became unbearably long and dragging. In the end it really felt all for nothing, even with one promise on the horizon. Still, I liked Elsa a lot and that kept me motivated to getting the full of the story. Loreda might be one of the most insufferable characters I've ever read, and it sucks that it took great loss for her to understand why her mother made choices for her the way she did.
I appreciate the thorough research and detail in this book.
