A review by smcrain
The Women by Kristin Hannah

dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Kristin Hannah does it again. Another very compelling, emotionally gripping read. I loved The Nightingale, but I equally enjoyed this one, perhaps even a little more? It's hard to say as memory is fickle, but either way this was definitely another five star read from me.
