Kristin Hannah’s portrayal of their relationship will have you feeling the character’s pain and fill your heart with hope and love. It just won Book of the Month's 2021 Book of the Year Award, based on votes from members. They run from each other but only end up running towards each other. 'The Four Winds' by Kristin Hannah is a 2021 historical fiction novel about the Dust Bowl era. Despite all the distance they seem to create with each other, there still is a thread of love and closeness that keeps them together. She blames her mother, criticizes her, pelts her with all her fury, and when her mother is at her lowest, she showers her with a love so strong and complete it would melt your heart. The truth of their relationship and the raw emotions will stick with you whether you are a mother, a daughter, or both. Often all at the same time.” (Kristen Hannah, ‘The Four Winds’)
“Believe me, this little girl will love you as no one ever has … and make you crazy and try your soul. As I try to make sense of my relationship with my daughter now, this book hit a personal chord. Kristin Hannah ’s absorbing new novel begins just a few years before, when it seemed as if Elsa Wolcott might finally have a peaceful, fulfilling life ahead. There is beauty in the pain and disarray.
I love how this book navigates the stages and complexities of a mother-daughter relationship.
My mother died when I was 13 and I have been keenly observing mother-daughter relationships since that day.
