Women

The new novel by Kristin Hannah is the story of a young nurse, Frances McGrath, who joins the Army to serve in the Vietnam War. Frankie grew up on Coronado Island in a privileged, conservative family. She always follows the rules, studies diligently, and only wants her parents to be proud of her.

Her world is one of wealth and prosperity, a world where a woman's calling is to enhance the life of an influential and powerful man. But one day everything changes; in 1966, her older brother goes to Vietnam, and six months later, she decides to follow him.
Frankie is as young and inexperienced as most American soldiers. She is completely unprepared to find herself in a country engulfed by chaos and war, but gradually, she adapts and gains experience, finds friends, love, and a calling. However, Vietnam is just the beginning; the real battle awaits the main character upon her return to a nation torn apart by protests.

To a country that wants to forget about Vietnam. Kristin Hannah's new novel sheds light on the fates of women who put themselves in danger, risked their lives, yet were forgotten and pushed into the shadows of male veterans. Immediately after its release, the novel became a major bestseller in the U.S., firmly establishing itself at the top of the bestseller lists for months.
