Let's discuss the book "The Four Winds" by Kristin Hannah + Book Exchange

##

This meeting will be in-person at The Intown Retreat in Decatur.

For January's meeting, we will read "The Four Winds" by Kristin Hannah. We will also exchange books! Bring 1-3 books from your collection to trade with others.

The people who come will vote on the next book (in two months). Bring ideas please!
We will still try to read current-ish fiction (last 15 years) that represents diverse voices, is already in paperback, and has won or been nominated for any award (I'm a snob).
For podcasts I'm wide open.

About our book:
Texas, 1934. Millions are out of work and a drought has broken the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as the crops are failing, the water is drying up, and dust threatens to bury them all. One of the darkest periods of the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl era, has arrived with a vengeance.

In this uncertain and dangerous time, Elsa Martinelli—like so many of her neighbors—must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or go west, to California, in search of a better life. The Four Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American Dream, as seen through the eyes of one indomitable woman whose courage and sacrifice will come to define a generation.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone comes an epic novel of love and heroism and hope, set against the backdrop of one of America’s most defining eras—the Great Depression.
