The Women by Kristin Hannah

5.0

 

This might be my favorite Kristin Hannah book so far. I haven’t read them all, but have read enough to catapult this book to the top of my ranking. I was completely engrossed in this story, captivated by the writing because I felt like I was inside the book. 

 

Even though this story falls within the historical fiction genre, it is obvious that Hannah did her research as so many storylines are true. 

 

For how heavy and sad it is, I wasn’t overly shocked on how many topics Hannah hit on. And they weren’t just thrown in to fill the space, they very much had a purpose which tied everything together. Between the horrors of war, PTSD, women living in a mans world, love, death, and so much more, I think it’ll be hard for me to convince readers just how well done everything was. 

 

I went on an emotional rollercoaster and loved every step of the way. 

 

Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ALC!
