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 would recommend this book as it is so well written and captures situations accurately.

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.

Such a good book, I couldn't drop thinking about it , so well written ! Congratulations keep up the good work

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.

Not her best book but still very readable. It took a while to get into it.

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.

Kristin Hannah you keep getting better.What a wonderful way to educate us on PTSD and the deep hidden bravery of our troops.
