The Women

In “The Women,” Kristin Hannah masterfully weaves the tale of Frances “Frankie” McGrath, a young nursing student from sunny Southern California who finds herself in the heart of the Vietnam War. As she navigates the chaos and heartbreak of the battlefield, Frankie’s journey is one of courage, friendship, and resilience. This poignant novel not only highlights the sacrifices of women in war but also their struggle to find their place in a divided America upon returning home. A deeply moving story that lingers long after the last page.
