I was assigned this book in book club and wasn’t too excited to read it.
Once I got into it I fell in love with it. Kristin Hannah does it again with another phenomenal book. It gripped me and kept me turning to the next page as fast as possible. I felt so bad for Frankie throughout the entire book. But ultimately was happy with the ending.
Powerful, painful, and captivating

I skeptically picked up this book, then resisted putting it down until I finished. Reading this novel, opened my eyes to the pain of those whom i love who have served.

I studied and worked with nurses at the VA who had been in Vietnam, they described exactly what this story is about. One was on the committee to raise funds for the Vietnam women’s memorial. I went to see the wall and this memorial.

This is a look into little known information about the brave women who served in Vietnam. So much information was withheld or wrong about this war. It’s still so upsetting and I really hope this stays in our hearts and minds so this never happens again. No whitewashing, lying, or changing the facts.
Slow Beginning, Good Ending

It was difficult for me to warm up to this book. But the character building of the main character was amazing. I ended up caring for her, wanting her to find her way. It all comes together in the end.

Women are hero’s

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.
