Home Front: A heart-wrenching exploration of love and war from the author of The Four Winds and The Women Paperback – 10 Nov. 2022

I love this author's writing and this book does not fail in reaching the parts other books can not. Wonderful, wonderful wonderful a tale of friendship, love and the price of war. Couldn't put it down.

Another good book from Kristin Hannah, although very different from her others. It still deals with family and relationships but from a view point most of us will never know. I thought it was a beautiful story, very moving and certainly makes you cry. The characters have real depth andvare all different.I really enjoyed this story of love and loss in its many different forms.

Loved the characters in it and the way they developed through the story. I'd definitely recommend this hooliganism and everyone!

Wow- I could not put this down. The Higgs and lows are so compelling and I went from tears to smiles regularly.Well done Hannah!

I have now read 6 books from this amazing author and each I have said it was the best book I have ever read ….. that says it all.

Home Front is a powerful story of friendship, marriage, being a parent and the impact a war has on families. I really enjoyed this poignant story and the difficulties Jolene and her family have to endure. Kristin Hanna has created characters who are brought to life, under her skilful pen. The subject is tough and heartbreaking and yet it’s dealt with empathy, understanding and sensitivity. Highly recommended

This was an ok holiday read but a bit too sugary and fluffy for my liking. Not a patch on Nightingale, Four Winds or The Great Alone.For me, the kids were the most annoying brats ! At 12 years old Betsy needed some discipline. Her sulky moods were pandered to and she needed to take responsibility. She never lifted a finger to help with chores and just moaned all the time. Lulu the youngest was also out of control. Both parents and the grandmother indulged them too much, and why can’t a 12 year old return from school to an empty house ? Plenty do and it teaches them responsibility.When Jolene returned from Iraq with her injury, their father was worse than useless in not preparing them for how vulnerable she would be and how careful they had to be not to bang into her and hurt her.The start of her depression and moods was inevitable but they way in which after just a few therapy sessions she was all of a sudden “fixed” was unrealistic and unbelievable. It seemed the story was rushed at the end for a sugar coated happy ending .This wasn’t anywhere near the brilliance of her other novels and didn’t even seem like the same author.Hope she isn’t going to churn out more of this type of fluff, instead of delivering truly great novels akin to Nightingale, Four Winds and my absolute favourite The Great Alone.

Another amazing story from this talented author. Incredibly researched, so emotional and descriptive. Can’t wait to read another story by Kristin Hannah. Absolutely my favourite author.
