‘Powerful and compelling’ - Delia Owens, number one international bestselling author of Where The Crawdads Sing
The Four Winds
is a deeply moving, powerful story about the strength and resilience of
women and the bond between mother and daughter, by the multi-million
copy number one bestselling author of The Nightingale, Kristin Hannah.
She will discover the best of herself in the worst of times . . .
Texas, 1934. Elsa Martinelli had finally found the life she’d yearned
for. A family, a home and a livelihood on a farm on the Great Plains.
But when drought threatens all she and her community hold dear, Elsa’s
world is shattered to the winds.
Fearful of the future, when
Elsa wakes to find her husband has fled, she is forced to make the most
agonizing decision of her life. Fight for the land she loves or take her
beloved children, Loreda and Ant, west to California in search of a
better life. Will it be the land of milk and honey? Or will their
experience challenge every ounce of strength they possess?
From
the overriding love of a mother for her child, the value of female
friendship and the ability to love again – against all odds, Elsa’s
incredible journey is a story of survival, hope and what we do for the
ones we love.
