"The Bestselling Hardcover Novel of the Year."--Publishers Weekly From the number-one bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone comes a powerful American epic about love and heroism and hope, set during the Great Depression, a time when the country was in crisis and at war with itself, when millions were out of work and even the land seemed to have turned against them. “My land tells its story if you listen. The story of our family.” Texas, 1921. A time of abundance. The Great War is over, the bounty of the land is plentiful, and America is on the brink of a new and optimistic era. But for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli and decides to change the direction of her life. With her reputation in ruin, there is only one respectable choice: marriage to a man she barely knows. By 1934, the world has changed; millions are out of work and drought has devastated the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as crops fail and water dries up and the earth cracks open. Dust storms roll relentlessly across the plains. Everything on the Martinelli farm is dying, including Elsa’s tenuous marriage; each day is a desperate battle against nature and a fight to keep her children alive. In this uncertain and perilous time, Elsa—like so many of her neighbors—must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west, to California, in search of a better life for her family. The Four Winds is a rich, sweeping novel that stunningly brings to life the Great Depression and the people who lived through it—the harsh realities that divided us as a nation and the enduring battle between the haves and the have-nots. A testament to hope, resilience, and the strength of the human spirit to survive adversity, 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.

In Matthew, dem Sohn der Nachbarn, findet Leni einen engen Freund, und aus ihrer Vertrautheit entwickelt sich bald eine junge Liebe. Doch auf die Schönheit des Sommers in Alaska folgt unweigerlich die Finsternis des Winters, und je länger diese andauert, desto weniger vermag Lenis Vater die in ihm wohnenden Dämonen zu bändigen. Schon bald müssen die beiden jungen Liebenden um ihr Miteinander kämpfen – bis sie eines Tages auszubrechen versuchen ... Mit emotionaler Wucht erzählt Kristin Hannah eine große Geschichte über unsere Verletzlichkeit, wenn wir zum ersten Mal lieben, über die dunklen Seiten der Liebe und über die niemals endende Verbundenheit zwischen einer Mutter und ihrem Kind.

#1 New York Times Instant Bestseller In Kristin Hannah’s The Great Alone, a desperate family seeks a new beginning in the near-isolated wilderness of Alaska only to find that their unpredictable environment is less threatening than the erratic behavior found in human nature. Alaska, 1974. Ernt Allbright came home from the Vietnam War a changed and volatile man. When he loses yet another job, he makes the impulsive decision to move his wife and daughter north where they will live off the grid in America’s last true frontier. Cora will do anything for the man she loves, even if means following him into the unknown. Thirteen-year-old Leni, caught in the riptide of her parents’ passionate, stormy relationship, has little choice but to go along, daring to hope this new land promises her family a better future. In a wild, remote corner of Alaska, the Allbrights find a fiercely independent community of strong men and even stronger women. The long, sunlit days and the generosity of the locals make up for the newcomers’ lack of preparation and dwindling resources. But as winter approaches and darkness descends, Ernt’s fragile mental state deteriorates. Soon the perils outside pale in comparison to threats from within. In their small cabin, covered in snow, blanketed in eighteen hours of night, Leni and her mother learn the terrible truth: they are on their own.

UNA EDICIÓN DE LUJO PARA UN LIBRO INOLVIDABLE. En el décimo aniversario de su publicación, y ahora en una edición especial conmemorativa, esta conmovedora historia de amor y coraje en la Segunda Guerra Mundial se ha convertido en un clásico contemporáneo. Francia, 1939. En el tranquilo pueblo de Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac se despide de su marido, Antoine, que debe marchar al frente. Ella no cree que los nazis vayan a invadir Francia, pero lo hacen, con batallones de soldados marchando por las calles, con caravanas de camiones y tanques, con aviones que llenan los cielos y lanzan bombas sobre los inocentes. Cuando un capitán alemán requisa la casa de Vianne, ella y su hija deben convivir con el enemigo o arriesgarse a perderlo todo. Sin comida ni dinero ni esperanza, Vianne se ve obligada a tomar decisiones cada vez más difíciles para sobrevivir. La hermana de Vianne, Isabelle, es una joven rebelde de dieciocho años que busca un propósito para su vida con toda la temeraria pasión de la juventud. Mientras miles de parisinos escapan de la ciudad ante la inminente llegada de los alemanes, Isabelle se encuentra con Gaëton, un partisano que cree que los franceses pueden luchar contra los nazis desde dentro de Francia. Isabelle se enamora completamente pero, tras sentirse traicionada, decide unirse a la Resistencia. Sin detenerse nunca para mirar atrás, Isabelle arriesgará su vida una y otra vez para salvar a otros. En el amor descubrimos quiénes queremos ser. En la guerra descubrimos quiénes somos en realidad. «Me entusiasmó El Ruiseñor de Kristin Hannah, una escritora con gran talento para crear historias con magníficos personajes, excelentes argumentos y fuertes emociones. ¿Se puede pedir más en una novela?». Isabel Allende La crítica ha dicho: «Kristin Hannah, en esta narración de intensos crescendos emocionales, homenajea de paso a tantas mujeres anónimas que en los años bélicos más crudos tuvieron los redaños de resistir al nazismo y combatirlo letalmente.» La Vanguardia «Una novela llena de emoción y corazón.» Library Journal «Un libro que no se puede dejar... Este homenaje emocionante y emocional a las valientes mujeres que lucharon tras las líneas enemigas en la Segunda Guerra Mundial está destinado a conseguir, para la ya inmensamente popular Hannah, una audiencia todavía mayor. El Ruiseñor lo tiene todo para arrasar en el mundo editorial.» Booklist «Hannah trata con maestría el drama de la guerra a través de dos mujeres cuya fuerza de carácter brilla más allá de sus diferencias.» Publishers Weekly
