Jasmine Edwards — Fri, 24 Sep 2021 09:00:00 +0000

Magic Hour is a story about the resilience of the human spirit, the triumph of hope, and the meaning of home. Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah – #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone – was initially released in 2006. But it was released in 2020. Since it’s first release, it has been heavily praised by the critics, which makes it an absolute must-read book. So, check it out now!

Magic Hour

In the rugged Pacific Northwest lies the Olympic National Forest. With nearly a million acres of impenetrable darkness and impossible beauty. From deep within this old growth forest, a six-year-old girl appears. However, she is speechless and alone, offering no clue as to her identity, no hint of her past. Despite this, child psychiatrist Dr. Julia Cates is determined to free the extraordinary little girl she calls Alice from a prison of unimaginable fear and isolation. Julia must discover the truth about Alice’s past in order to help her.

Booklist Review

Although a judge rules in her favor, child psychiatrist Dr. Julia Cates is found guilty of incompetence in the press. Her entire life has centered on her exclusive practice, and now all her patients have abandoned her. Salvation comes unexpectedly at the behest of her estranged sister, Ellie, the chief of police in their hometown of Rain Valley, Washington. Julia never wanted to go back to their small logging town, where she was the scrawny bookworm and Ellie was the homecoming queen, but now, even though they refuse to admit it, the sisters need each other as they try to save a young girl found in a forest in the company of a wolf. She behaves like an animal and doesn’t speak. Julia works hard to break the mute silence of the mysterious little girl; Ellie tries to find out where she belongs; and both of them defend the girl they decide to call Alice against those who would exploit her. Through helping this young lost soul, Julia and Ellie learn a lot about themselves and about their relationships in one of this perennially best-selling writer’s most compelling and riveting novels to date. Magic Hour will enhance Hannah’s popularity and affirm her dominance in women’s fiction.

Publishers Weekly Review

Hannah’s melodramatic 15th novel (after The Things We Do for Love) tells the addictive soap opera story of a feral child and the adults who rally to help her. The cast of stock characters is led by child psychiatrist Dr. Julia Cates, whose reputation was ruined when she failed to prevent a teen patient from staging a Columbine-style massacre. Her sister, Ellie Barton, a smalltown former homecoming queen–turned–chief of police, summons Julia from Los Angeles to their Pacific Northwest hometown of Rain Valley to take on the case of a mysterious lost child, who appeared one day on the edge of town, presumably raised by wolves. With the dashing doctor Dr. Max Cerrasin at her side, Julia works diligently to tame the mute girl, whom she names Alice. Max, like Julia, is running from demons of his own. Though she initially rebuffs his overtures (“When I love, I risk my heart. All or nothing,” Julia declares), their romance inevitably blossoms while they work to solve the mystery of Alice’s parentage. The novel’s real love story, though, is the passion between Alice and Julia, and it’s hard not to root for the vulnerable little Wolf Girl. (Mar.)

All About The Nightingale Kristin Hannah

Jasmine Edwards — Sun, 01 Aug 2021 15:04:00 +0000

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah spent 20 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, 45 weeks on the NPR Hardcover Fiction Bestseller List, has sold over 4.5 million copies, and was the Goodreads choice winner of 2018. This historical novel swept up the charts and won over the hearts of almost anyone who read it (including us!). The book is inspired by the story of a Belgian woman, Andrée de Jongh, who helped downed Allied pilots to escape occupied France territory.

A film based on the book will be released in 2022, starring Dakota and Elle Fanning. This marks the first time that the sisters will have shared scenes in a film, since they tend to play the same character at different ages in separate scenes.

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

The Nightingale By Kristin Hannah

“If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is this: in love we find out who we want to be; in war we find out who we are.”

This story is about what it was like to be a woman during World War II when women’s stories were all too often forgotten or overlooked. Vianne and Isabelle Mauriac are two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals and passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path towards survival, love and freedom in war-torn France.

Detailed Description

FRANCE, 1939

In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesn’t believe that the German Army will invade France. But invade they do. In droves of marching soldiers. In caravans of trucks and tanks. And in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Vianne’s home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.

Vianne’s sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gäetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the German Army from within France. And she falls in love as only the young can…completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.

With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women’s war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance. Each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France. A heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.
