I like the books I've read by Kristin Hannah. She came to an event near my home and I was very impressed by her in person, too. My book is Writers and Lovers
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have read any of hers until this one. I was surprised by that too as she has so many great ones. I will be reading more though. This one is excellent.
