“Women’s fiction” is a term used to describe books that center on women’s experiences. These books are understood to be marketed toward female readers and cover a range of topics. Women’s fiction is distinct from “women’s writing,” which simply refers to writing written by women rather than for this demographic specifically. Romance is often considered central to women’s fiction. However, the Women’s Fiction Writer’s Association (WFWA) notes that books falling under this label may or may not include romance. Rather, the group argues that the defining feature of women’s fiction is “the protagonist’s journey toward a more fulfilled self” (“About WFWA.” Women’s Fiction Writers Association).
By this definition, Kristin Hannah’s writing falls under the umbrella of women’s fiction. Her books, including bestsellers like The Nightingale (2015) and Firefly Lane (2008), generally revolve around characters who are women and explore experiences unique to them. True Colors is no exception with its focus on the Grey sisters. Narrated mostly in close third person, the book switches between the perspectives of the oldest and youngest Grey sisters, Winona and Vivi Ann (the sole exception being Vivi Ann’s son’s interspersed journal entries).
