Book

Thank you for telling this story! Amazing!

Loved this book, this is a must read

She just has a way of keeping me hooked! I love how she highlights such likable strong independent woman. Can’t wait to read another of hers!

The author really brings such clarity to what it was like for combat female nurses in Vietnam. The pure trauma of it and then the dismissal of your service due to being a woman. My heart could feel Frankie’s pain and then feel her gain strength. I’m so glad it was a happy ending.

The Women by Kristin Hannah vividly portrays nurse Frankie McGrath’s struggles during the Vietnam War and her return home. Steeped in history and emotion, the novel explores female resilience and sacrifice. While some characters feel underdeveloped, its powerful narrative remains a stirring testament to women’s enduring strength. An unforgettable narrative.

This book is transformative. I will never again view any aspect of the Viet Nam War the same way. As a citizen of the U.S., I thank you for filling in the personal elements that have been missing.

As a woman veteran who served elsewhere overseas in the 70‘s, I felt this story keenly. I have immense respect for the women who served before me, especially those who served in combat situations and locations. Their strength and service is a testament to what I have known since my youth; that patriotism and valor are not gender specific. May all the veterans of this horrendous war rest…and live…in peace with our appreciation and respect.

Excellent! The characters, the history, the story. So, so good.

But GREAT! This book was artistically written. Well done!

Made me cry, so touching.
