Women can be heroes.
The Women is the book about Vietnam we never knew we needed. Wow. And focusing on the women of Vietnam?! The women who were "never there." (If I had to read one more passage about the 1970s VA turning a woman away, I was going to blow my top and write to the VA of 2024.)
Powerful. Emotional. Frustrating. This hits it all. I am trying to decide if The Women just overthrew The Nightingale as my all-time favorite Kristin Hannah book. I'll get back with you.
My recommendation? You need to read this!!!!!!!
