Uhuh, I’m glad, I’m a busy career woman and mother now. But women that time were seen and expected to ONLY be a housewife and a mother, doing ONLY house chores, serving their families and husbands. But she has easy access to the library and she has a loooot of time to spend in her bedroom being bored, soooo… However she didn’t want that life.
She grew up with comfortable lifestyle in the 1920s, except she wasn’t treated well as a daughter. The Four Winds follows the story of Elsinore, a.k.a. The Four Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American Dream, as seen through the eyes of one indomitable woman whose courage and sacrifice will come to define a generation.įrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone comes an epic novel of love and heroism and hope, set against the backdrop of one of America’s most defining eras-the Great Depression. In this uncertain and dangerous time, Elsa Martinelli-like so many of her neighbors-must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or go west, to California, in search of a better life. One of the darkest periods of the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl era, has arrived with a vengeance. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as the crops are failing, the water is drying up, and dust threatens to bury them all.
Millions are out of work and a drought has broken the Great Plains.
