The Women by Kristin Hannah ***** 1/29/2024
Frankie McGrath chose to follow her brother, Finley, and joined the Army Nurse Corps and followed his path into the Vietnam War. Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America, to angry protesters, and a country that wants to forget Vietnam

Andrew65

EadieB Frankie would stop by the VA and go to discussion groups and be told that only men were in Vietnam and fought in the war. Even her parents told her not to talk about the war. Kristin Hannah has written a book about all the women who served in Vietnam. The book is a great tribute to these women and one that should be read by all. Her best friends, Barb and Ethel, she met in Vietnam. They help her as best they can to overcome her inability to get 1h

EadieB back to normal. There are many other parts of the book that I could write about but I think you should just get a copy and read it for yourself. It‘s a great book and there are three words that stand out: WE WERE THERE!
1h

Andrew65 This will definitely make my list, think I read it in February or March. I think the book that has stayed the most with me this year. I really need to read more of her books and catch up on her back catalogue. I still remember with great affection the group read you lead for The Great Alone.

How women were treated in this book was abominable, included by her own family, but even worse how she was treated by other male Vietnam vets. 55m

Andrew65 A must read for anyone that hasn‘t, I agree with you on that. 54m

EadieB @Andrew65 it definitely is a great read! 20m

One of the author's early books, from some 30 years ago. Enjoyable while also a little tedious.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Not sure if there is anything left to say about this spectacular novel. I don‘t know what #KristinHannah puts into her writing, but it‘s always so entertaining and you just cannot put it down. However, I did like Great Alone & Four Winds a bit more than #TheWomen. She included the same twist twice, and I could have lived without the men drama.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

marleed Same. I really liked this book, the setting, the characters. But it lost a pointy tip on my star rating when bad-ass Frankie fell in love twice inside her grueling tour-of-duty. 10mo

thewallflower0707 Yup, and then it turned out that both men were lying about being married/engaged, both were presumed death and both suddenly turned up again?? @marleed (edited) 10mo

so-so

Last year I bailed on this one. I gave it another shot. Not my favorite Hannah book. I‘ve loved all of the others I‘ve read but this one just never seemed to click.

Ugh. Worst Kristin Hannah book. Husband was utterly unlikeable. Wife was full of self doubt. Just so much unnecessary angst with no real point.
