‘A master storyteller’ Delia Owens, bestselling author of Where
the Crawdads Sing ‘Powerful and compelling’ Christy Lefteri,
bestselling author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo From the worldwide
bestselling author of The Four Winds, The Nightingale and Firefly
Lane (a Number One series on Netflix), The Women is a story of
devastating loss and epic love. It is both an intimate portrait of
a woman coming of age in a dangerous time and a story of a nation
divided by war. It would be the journey of a lifetime . . .
‘Women can be heroes, too’. When twenty-year-old nursing
student, Frances “Frankie” McGrath, hears these unexpected
words, it is a revelation. Raised on California’s idyllic
Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has
always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl.
But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a
different path for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in
Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurses Corps and follows
his path. As green and inexperienced as the young men sent to
Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and
destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home
to a changed America. Frankie will also discover the true value of
female friendship and the heartbreak that love can cause. The Women
is the story of one woman who goes to war, but it shines a light on
the story of all women who put themselves in harm’s way to help
others. Women whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has
been all too often forgotten. A novel of searing insight and
lyrical beauty, The Women is a profoundly emotional, richly drawn
story with a memorable heroine whose extraordinary idealism and
courage under fire define an era. Praise for Kristin Hannah: ‘You
would be hard-pressed to find a book club that has not discussed
one of her novels’ New York Times ‘A rich, compelling novel of
love, sacrifice and survival’ – Kate Morton ‘A masterclass’
– Karen Swan ‘Powerful’ – Matt Haig
