With every book I read by Kristin Hannah, I have the feeling that I am immersed in the history of times gone by. She tackles topics that have been forgotten and don’t shy away from the work of thorough research. Her drive for perfection is palpable while reading, and I find her ability to combine fiction and real events masterful. It wasn’t just the story that won me over, but also Frances McGrath, who truly embodies a strong personality to match the fateful plot. A harmoniously successful novel despite the tragic subject matter.
