5.0

This is a story of women, but also of others whose characters are brilliantly written, developed and made completely believable. It is a story of two wars, one of brutal Vietnam and one of the women’s return home, brutal in different ways. <br />It shows the expected graphic grimness of war, with many details that I had never considered or known about. But you also feel the emotions/romance within the war between the serving and their family/loved ones back home. We find out what happened when they returned home did these relationships continue, become stronger or crumble<br />This book is an absolute must read And I would highly recommend it. Enjoy.
