Über diesen Titel

'One of the greatest storytellers of our time' Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing

'A story of love, family, unbreakable bonds, bravery and hope' Christy Lefteri, author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo

The Four Winds, an instant New York Times number one bestseller and Richard and Judy Book Club Pick, is a deeply moving story about the strength and resilience of women and the bond between mother and daughter, by the multi-million-copy 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.

'A classic storyteller, The Four Winds sees her at the top of her game' Matt Haig, author of The Midnight Library

Kritikerstimmen

A powerful, stirring, wind-swept tale set in Depression-era America that makes your heart break and soar in equal measure. An escape into the past with timely echoes to the present. Kristin Hannah is a classic storyteller and The Four Winds sees her at the top of her game. (Matt Haig)
A rich, compelling novel of love, sacrifice and survival, as epic as the Alaskan landscape it so vividly describes (Kate Morton on The Great Alone)
I didn’t just love this book, I became obsessed with it . . . The characters were flawed and vulnerable, strong and naive, and Hannah has delivered a masterclass in all the different ways love can both save us and destroy us (Karen Swan on The Great Alone)
Epic . . . By the end, I was surrounded by snow-drifts of tissues damp with my tears (Washington Post on The Great Alone)
Great characters, great plots, great emotions: who could ask for more in a novel? (Isabel Allende on The Nightingale)
Movingly written and plotted with the skill of Greek tragedy. You’ll keep turning the pages until the last racking sob (Daily Mail on The Nightingale)
The Four Winds seems eerily prescient in 2021 . . . Its message is galvanizing and hopeful: We are a nation of scrappy survivors. We’ve been in dire straits before; we will be again. Hold your people close

Bei Kristin Hannahs Geschichten gefällt mir immer sehr die Entwicklung der Charaktere. Das Buch wird sehr dicht, die Emotionen sind spürbar und nachvollziehbar und geben Der Geschichte eine ganz eigene Dynamik. die Sprecherin ist toll und arbeitet sehr gut und angenehm mit verschiedenen Stimmen. die Geschichte des Buches ist super interessant und Teile davon haben ihre Aktualität nicht verloren...

Tolle Charaktere und sehr interessantes Thema!

When I see Julia Whelan as narrator, I just have to have this book. She is brilliant. The whole book just comes alive. This book is also great. About love on so many levels: to your children, your land, to yourself. I loved it. Makes you think about hard times and survival.

So good!

The book is well written, but it is a very depressing story without happy end.
