‘A riveting story of love, courage, and sacrifice…Hannah combines gritty realism with emotionally rich characters and lyrical prose that rings brightly and true…In Elsa, a woman who fiercely defends her principles and those she loves, Hannah brilliantly revives the ghost of Tom Joad.’ Publishers Weekly
‘Outstanding…[A] rich, rewarding read about family ties, perseverance, and women’s friendships and fortitude.’ Booklist
‘The pedantic aims of the novel are hard to ignore as Hannah embodies her history lesson in what feels like a series of sepia-toned postcards depicting melodramatic scenes and clichéd emotions. For devoted Hannah fans in search of a good cry.” Kirkus Reviews
‘Through one woman’s survival during the harsh and haunting Dust Bowl, master storyteller, Kristin Hannah, reminds us that the human heart and our Earth are as tough, yet as fragile, as a change in the wind. This mother’s soul, suffering the same drought as the land, attempts to cross deserts and beat starvation to save her children with a fierce inner strength called motherhood. A timely novel highlighting the worth and delicate nature of Nature itself.’ Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing
