Kristin Hannah’s award-winning, best-selling novels have made her one of the world’s most beloved storytellers. Her international blockbuster, The Nightingale, was named Goodreads Best Historical fiction novel for 2015 and won People’s Choice Award for best fiction. In 2018, Hannah’s novel The Great Alone was named the Best Historical Novel of the Year by Goodreads. Her writing has also found success in TV and film adaptations: Firefly Lane was the #1 Netflix series around the world, and The Nightingale is currently in production, with Dakota and Elle Fanning set to star. Across all her work, Hannah celebrates the all-too-often forgotten power of women across history.
Hannah’s newest novel, The Women, tells the story of a woman coming of age in the 1960s. An intimate portrait of a turbulent, transformative time in America, the novel explores a generation who were scarred on the battlefields only to return to a divided nation. Through the story of one woman, Hannah shines a light on the story of all women who put themselves in harm’s way to help others. Hannah puts it best when she writes “Women can be heroes, too.”
