One of my favourite Dutch authors, Femke Roobol, is publishing 2 new books in 2021. Also meets my personal challenge (reading at least one Dutch writer)

Having read others comments I realized I totally forgot about The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah that I've had on my TBR list for a while now.


I've read and really enjoyed Sarah Maine before - I read Women of the Dunes last year. I thought that book has a really great blend of mystery, a touch of modern-day romance and historical fiction. This story is completely set in the past, and has a prominent romance premise. I'm not a romance reader at all, but I figured I was in good hands with this author so gave it a try. Whilst this does have a romance at its core, this book is not dominated by that one element. It is compulsively readable, full of historic fact from a period of history I knew nothing about, and is really more about the jeopardy that Rose finds herself in. Maine is incredibly good at setting a scene, and each character had a really strong presence. This book isn't particularly deep in comparison to my usual choices, but it still covers a lot of themes and is a fun read.
