Reading Kristin Hannah

For book lovers like myself, winter break was the perfect time to cozy up with a novel and relax while avoiding the cold. Although I tend to stick to my favorite genres of fantasy and romance, I decided to branch out over break. I had heard of Kristin Hannah online recently and was intrigued to see what her books had to offer. I picked up four of her historical fiction works and surprisingly grew to love her writing as well as the genre. I devoured each read and moved onto the next with rapid speed. 

I began with arguably her most famous book, The Nightingale, which was published in 2015.

Let us Remember: Julian Barnes Attempts Historical Fiction

The Noise of Time is a novel of threes. It begins with three mysteriously unnamed characters meeting on a train platform, and it is parted into three sections. Each of these sections is allocated a different setting — the lobby just outside two elevator doors, a plane seat and a car seat. In each of these sections, the main character never moves. Instead, he reflects.
