I understand why it took so long for the author to put this book together, the historical research took up a lot of time but was worth the wait. Elsa is one of the strongest characters, a resilient survivor, who does everything for her family. Her fight begins on page one and doesn’t stop until the last page. In The Four Winds, you find everything, a deeply moving plot, strong characters and a lesson in American history.

Kristin Hannah never fails to teach her readers about important periods in time! The Four Winds was a hard book to get through with its very honest topics and the hard times people living during the Great Depression had to go through. But it also taught me a lot about history, and I enjoyed following the journey of Elsa, who was definitely not the "perfect" protagonist many people would love - but that's what I loved about her. I have read several of Hannah's book and this was not one of my favourites, but I definitely have no regrets about buying it and reading it, as I just love her style of writing and how relatable her characters are.
