I love that Kristin Hannah gives me lessons on history I theoretically know. 
Honestly, I don't know much about Vietnam besides the headlines. This was a really beautiful look at the impact on a generation through the lense of one woman's life, and her dear friends.
This made me immensely thankful for my own bookending friends.
