The Women by Kristin Hannah

The Women is Kristin Hannah's bestselling novel about the American women who served in Vietnam, from the author of The Nightingale. It has sat near the top of the charts since it came out, and a film is in the works.

It is 1965. Frankie McGrath is a twenty-year-old nursing student from a comfortable Californian family, raised to be a good girl. When her brother ships out to Vietnam, she does something nobody expects and joins the Army Nurse Corps to follow him. Nothing prepares her for the war, and nothing prepares her for coming home to a country that would rather pretend women like her were never there.

A sweeping, emotional historical novel about friendship, courage and the women written out of the story, for readers of her own The Nightingale.
