- Book Synopsis
-
Ideal for readers who:

Kristin Hannah brings scale, emotion and storytelling drive to this novel about women who served during the Vietnam War and the lasting impact of that experience. At its centre is Frankie McGrath, whose decision to join the Army Nurse Corps transforms her understanding of the world and of herself.
The novel works both as a wartime story and as a portrait of female friendship, idealism and what it means to come home changed. Hannah is particularly strong on the emotional cost of service and the ways women’s stories are so often overlooked in the histories they helped shape.
The Women is exactly the sort of large-scale, emotionally generous historical fiction that many readers will tear through.
