I was listening to Kristin Hannah's The Four Winds and I wasn't enjoying it. Her writing is wonderful, but Elsa (Elsinore) as a spinster in 1921 just wasn't working for me. I felt sorry for her, but also frustrated. My one favorite quote before I quit listening was from her deceased grandfather. "Don't be afraid of dying. Be afraid of not living." The Walcotts and their social standing were off putting. I was curious about The Age of Innocence, but don't think I'll get it and read it.
I just decided to move on even though I truly think Hannah is a talented author who crafts a strong story. The vocal work was fine; I just didn't like it.
