I really enjoyed this and read most of it in one day! I learned a lot about the experience of women during the Vietnam War era. I do wish that it was a little more concise though- it was just one bad thing after another happening to the main character Frankie and like her last book (The Four Winds)n I was ready for it to be over by the end.
