@Heather Her latest wasn’t a fav of mine either. At all! And I’ve read almost all her books. Firefly Lane and follow up Fly Away is a best friend/family story. Nightingale is the best book I’ve read to date for a very different reason. Heavier but so so so rewarding. Start with Nightingale. Don’t give up first 25% or so. You’ll need all that info for later. Let us know if you loved it as much as we all do. ??❤️❤️
The Nightingale is my favorite. I also loved Firefly Lane and it’s sequel Fly Away. Winter Garden, Night Road and Home Front are also excellent. I enjoyed The Great Alone but I know you weren’t too enthusiastic about it. She is one of my favorite authors!
@Heather her books are all very different from each other. Check the synopsis of each one to see which appeals to you. I read them as they came out but looking back, each book is its own unique story and may resonate with you depending on your life situation. For example I love The Nightingale because it deals with the Holocaust which is a subject close to my heart. Night Road is about raising teenagers and I read it when I was going through similar issues with my own kids. Firefly Lane is about women’s friendships which is always an emotional topic! Good luck finding the book that speaks to you!
if you were a teen in the 70s like i was; firefly lane was my favorite. some of her earlier work might be more to your liking as i read you couldnt get into the great alone.
I really think you should give The Great Alone another shot. I’ve read only a couple Kristin Hannah books but it was by far my favorite. I will admit it took a bit to get into but once I hit that spot I couldn’t put it down.
They are all amazing, doesn’t really matter. Once you read one you will for sure want to read them all. My first was Winter Garden. It remains my fav❤️I have read all of KH’s Books?
I read a few of her earlier books quite a while ago. If I recall correctly they were enjoyable romance novels with elements of suspense. It appears that she has since expanded to literary fiction. Perhaps you would like her early books since they are an easier read.
The Winter Garden was my first and I loved and have been hooked since. Loved Firefly Lane, which had me sobbing. Whichever one you start with you won’t be able to put it down.
Winter Garden is wonderful

I own The Nightingale so I may start there
I loved it. It was one of those “cant put down” books
I’m also the one who couldn’t get into her latest
Not every book is going to be a killer… I have favorite authors who had some “eh” books in my opinion.. each reads differently
@Rebecca, I can’t recommend this book enough. It publishes 2/20
@Heather I will add to the list

Winter Garden !! Best to start with
Loved that one!
I think Magic Hour is my favorite. But, I haven’t read all of them. Yet.

I agree, Firefly Lane. Winter
Garden was excellent.

It’s on my library wish list
For me, historical fiction is her best genre so I would start with Winter Garden or the Nightingale. Both are excellent books.

Books?
I loved The Nightingale myself.
I started with The Magic Hour; then The Great Alone (ARC), then The Nightingale. ALL great.
Winter Garden is my favorite. It’s a slow start, but sooo worth sticking out.

Nightingale. Then jump right into the Great Alone. I am excited for you to read them for the first time!
The Nightingale or Winter Garden
The Nightingale! It’s her masterpiece!
The Winter Garden was my first and I loved and have been hooked since. Loved Firefly Lane, which had me sobbing. Whichever one you start with you won’t be able to put it down.
I loved Comfort and Joy
Firefly Lane was my gateway “drug” to Kristin Hannah! ?
I dont know what it is about that one but it gets me all the time
One of the only books I’ve ever reread! But several years later when the sequel came out I wanted a refresher.
I started with Night Road and was hooked. Firefly Lane is excellent too. I just finished the Great Alone last night and loved it
I liked The Winter Garden.
ANY of them. She’s amazing! Nightingale is fresh in my mind!
