Kristin Hannah, Jenny Emery Davidson UNFORGETTABLE HEROINES
You can hear the buzzing excitement whenever a new novel is out from KRISTIN HANNAH. So it is with The Women, her latest, which debuted at #1 on The New York Times Best Sellers list. The author of The Nightingale and Four Winds has given
us another compelling heroine, young Frances “Frankie” McGrath, who leaves her sheltered Southern California girlhood to become a combat nurse in Vietnam as
the war rages. Brave in the face of death and heartbreak, she returns to a deeply divided America that wants to forget everything about Vietnam. In conversation with JENNY EMERY DAVIDSON, head of The Community Library in Ketchum, Hannah will talk about The Women and how the idea for the book first captured her.

Hilary Mantel once wrote, “The writer of history is a walking anachronism, using today’s techniques to try to know things about yesterday that yesterday didn’t know itself. She must try to work authentically, hearing the words of the past, but communicating in a language the present understands. I start to practice my trade at the point where the satisfactions of the official story break down.”...

Certain songs get scratched into our souls. For me, Craig's written a lot of them.
This just popped up in my feed this morning and what a delight to see that there has been a video made of this incredible song that I feel so connected to. Thank you for bringing this fantastic conversation - really meant a lot.
Excellent
Tremendously talented songwriter. And that video of the song really felt to me like it enhanced the song rather than limited it, which isn't always easy to do.
huge fan of craig finn ,the hold steday and lifter puller
I very much enjoyed this. Great interview.
I love her answer she feel Chilean but after week in Chile she realize her life is in USA and after thinking in the good times comes nostalgic that is the way I feel when I visit my homeland and I return to New Jersey
Thanks for this
Very good interviewer. He made the interview flow like a conversation. Most interviewers are waiting for the interviewee to finish answering the so they can ask the next question that they are busy reading and rehearsing while the interviewer answers. This interviewer was connected to the humanity of the interviewee. Very good!

This was so enjoyable and interesting. Thank you.
Mediocrity. I’ll blow it up
What a great interview!
Such a gift writer who writes from her heart and experience. I really enjoy reading your work ma'am. I found you while watching Telemundo - the book had been made into a movie. Know one else can craft historical fiction like you do. And being a feminist - well that is awesome too. May you have many lives and many more years.
I absolutely adore Isabel Allende…. As a writer, a woman, a human being… ✨❣️❣️
El sentido de exudado de que habla Isabel Allende es bien conocido por los millones de cubanos que están en otros paises Magistral escritora
