Easiest 5 stars I've given so far this year. Kristin Hannah is unbelievable. She weaves tales and tells stories that everyone else shies away from - and she takes them on headfirst. I haven't read anything of hers that I haven't loved but I fear this one may ruin those that are to come.
If you pick this one up, you will be transported. One moment you will be in Vietnam, side-by-side with Frankie in the OR. Then in a blink, you're back on US soil witnessing the vets of Vietnam - and the women in particular - get left behind. There are twists and turns. There is heartbreak. There is grief and loss and coming to terms with the harsh realities of war.
And the last few pages...there are no words.
