The 4 Winds

“The Bestselling Hardcover Novel of the 12 months.”–Publishers Weekly

From the number-one bestselling writer of The Nightingale and The Nice Alone comes a robust American epic about love and heroism and hope, set throughout the Nice Despair, a time when the nation was in disaster and at warfare with itself, when thousands and thousands have been out of labor and even the land appeared to have turned in opposition to them.

“My land tells its story when you hear. The story of our household.”

Texas, 1921. A time of abundance. The Nice Conflict is over, the bounty of the land is plentiful, and America is on the point of a brand new and optimistic period. However for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too outdated to marry in a time when marriage is a girl’s solely possibility, the longer term appears bleak. Till the night time she meets Rafe Martinelli and decides to alter the path of her life. Along with her fame in destroy, there is just one respectable alternative: marriage to a person she barely is aware of.

By 1934, the world has modified; thousands and thousands are out of labor and drought has devastated the Nice Plains. Farmers are preventing to maintain their land and their livelihoods as crops fail and water dries up and the earth cracks open. Mud storms roll relentlessly throughout the plains. Every part on the Martinelli farm is dying, together with Elsa’s tenuous marriage; every day is a determined battle in opposition to nature and a combat to maintain her kids alive.

On this unsure and dangerous time, Elsa―like so lots of her neighbors―should make an agonizing alternative: combat for the land she loves or go away it behind and go west, to California, searching for a greater life for her household.

The 4 Winds is a wealthy, sweeping novel that stunningly brings to life the Nice Despair and the individuals who lived by means of it―the cruel realities that divided us as a nation and the enduring battle between the haves and the have-nots. A testomony to hope, resilience, and the power of the human spirit to outlive adversity, The 4 Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American dream, as seen by means of the eyes of 1 indomitable lady whose braveness and sacrifice will come to outline a technology.
