Why read it?
2 authors picked What the Wind Knows as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved the whimsy and subtle magic that made this one kind of "historical fiction-Plus." The relationship between the protagonist, Anne, and her Irish grandfather, Eoin, was brilliantly and movingly portrayed. I was crying on page one. And although there is a very satisfying and wonderful romance here, it is her relationship with her grandfather that brought me to tears again and again. Just a lovely read.
This is a great book that you cannot put down. It reminds me of my favorite series, Outlander. Going back through time is something that a lot of us dream about, but never experience. I love a good love story, but this book also has mystery, intrigue, and pulls at your heartstrings. I consider it Historical Fiction because even though we cannot travel through time, there were a lot of women that had the same feelings and trauma in the 1920s that the main character went through.
From Julianna's list on historical fiction about lesser-known characters.
