The Women by Kristin Hannah

The Women by Kristin Hannah: PDP Master Copy

She went to Vietnam to save lives. She came home to a country that pretended she was never there.

Frances “Frankie” McGrath grew up sheltered in 1960s California. When her brother ships out to Vietnam, she follows him as an Army nurse. The Women is the story of what war takes from her, and of what a country forgets about the women who served.

• Heartbreak and courage, side by side. Follow Frankie from a first shift in a field hospital to the long, lonely return home.
• A history you were never taught. Thousands of women served in Vietnam, and this novel puts them at the center.
• Friendship that carries the story. Frankie’s bonds with the women beside her are the book’s emotional core.
• From the author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone. Expect Kristin Hannah’s sweeping, character-first storytelling.
• A book club that will run long. Sacrifice, silence, and recognition make this an easy pick for group discussion.

Good to know: This is a war novel. It includes scenes of combat injury and trauma, and it deals with PTSD and loss. It is emotional, so keep tissues nearby.
