Kristin Hannah is the award-winning and bestselling author of more than 20 novels including the international blockbuster, "The Nightingale," which was named Goodreads Best Historical fiction novel for 2015 and won the People’s Choice award for best fiction in the same year. Additionally, it was a selection of the Reese Witherspoon Book Club in 2023. It was named a Best Book of the Year by Amazon, iTunes, Buzzfeed, the Wall Street Journal, Paste, and The Week. Hannah herself was named to Forbes "50 Over 50" list the same year.
After two decades of stay-at-home motherhood and writing contemporary novels, Hannah found inspiration in the true story of the women of the French Resistance during World War II. This provided the backbone for "The Nightingale," her first historical fiction novel. "The Nightingale" was on the New York Times Best Seller list for 86 weeks and is being produced as a feature film starring sisters Dakota and Elle Fanning.
"The Four Winds," published in 2021, immediately hit #1 on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Indie bookstores’ bestseller lists. Additionally, it was selected as a book club pick by the both the "Today" show and the Book Of the Month club, which named it the best book of 2021. In 2018, "The Great Alone" became an instant New York Times #1 bestseller and was named the Best Historical Novel of the Year by Goodreads. An earlier novel about two best friends, "Firefly Lane," was adapted for television and released on Netflix in 2021.
