“The Women” by Kristin Hannah is a captivating novel that takes readers on a journey through a turbulent and transformative era in America - the 1960s. The story centers around Frances “Frankie” McGrath, a twenty-year-old nursing student who, inspired by the changing world around her, decides to join the Army Nurse Corps and follow her brother’s path to Vietnam.

In this deeply moving narrative, Hannah explores the chaos, destruction, and profound human experiences of war. Frankie, as green and inexperienced as the men sent to fight, finds herself in the midst of life and death gambles, hope and betrayal, and friendships that run deep but can be shattered in an instant.

Returning home, Frankie and her veteran friends face a new battle - a changed and politically divided America, angry protesters, and a country that wants to forget Vietnam.
