Kristin Hannah has been weaving tales about women and their relationships for more than three decades. (Netflix's smash hit Firefly Lane and the upcoming Nightingale film, which will mark Dakota and Elle Fanning's first onscreen acting project together, come to mind.)
As fans of the lawyer-turned-author (and Hannah herself) will tell you, the manner in which she writes about those subjects has drastically changed since 1991, when she published her first novel, however. “For years, I immersed myself in other time periods and rooted my stories in distant places,” she wrote on her website. “And then, somewhere along the way of this career...I turned my attention to contemporary matters and began to write about women’s lives.”
