The journal entries are simply fascinating and help put together the full image of both their lives. The chapters not only connect past events, but also show the influence of both characters on each other and their surroundings. The chapters alternated between journal entries written by Thomas and Anne’s POV set both in past and present. I personally loved how past and present mingled and overlapped, the lines blurring until ‘ only the wind knows which truly comes first‘. The descriptions of the setting and characters are detailed and help set the perfect atmosphere for this story… The time travel element is fascinating touch without it being a turn off for those who normally don’t enjoy science fiction.

The plot itself is fascinating, well constructed and gives us a real insight what it would have been like living in 1920s Ireland. The writing style will have you under its spell from the very first page and the beautiful prose is one of the reasons I already know What The Wind Knows will appear on my list of 2019 favorites. The writing and plot development are sublime. Each element has been created and developed to ultimately form a perfect balance together and they result in a story that will appeal to historical fiction and romance fans alike.

What The Wind Knows is one of my new favorites with a fascinating historical setting in 1920s Ireland, a time travel twist and a romantic and family story you cannot help but fall in love with. It is simply impressive how different and unique each new story is, and this newest addition is no exception. The year 2019 has without doubt started on a high note with the upcoming release of What The Wind Knows. I think everyone knows by now I’m a huge fan of Amy Harmon‘s books and I’m always over the moon when I find out there is a new story coming out. *** A copy of this book was kindly provided to me by Netgalley and Lake Union Publishing in exchange for an honest review.
