In this episode, Elin and Tim speak with the incomparable Kristin Hannah, author of The Nightingale, Firefly Lane, and The Four Winds. Kristin discusses her origin story (did you know she wrote a novel with her mom that will never be published?) and the three chat about crying while reading books, labels in literature, "blurbing" other authors’ books, characters pushed to the extremes, Hollywood adaptations, and more. It’s a real deep dive into this beloved writer’s world!
