Another heartbreaking and hopeful historical fiction work of art. I’m generally one of the first to say that I don’t like historical fiction, which is weird since I teach history. However, I have fallen in love with Kristin Hannah. Her storytelling, writing style, and the justice she does to the history of the timeframe. How she writes about is breathtaking. I ended this novel with tears rolling down my cheeks. Plus, I love how she puts women in very male dominated time frames.

As far as this story, I was devastated by the ending, literal tears rolling down my cheeks. However, I think it ended just how it needed to—especially thinking about doing the history justice.

I can’t wait to read another one of her novels.
