The Women

Kristin Hannah

Hannah follows an army nurse through two tours of Vietnam and a homecoming that proves harder than the war, into a country insisting women were never there.

Frankie McGrath serves two tours as an army nurse in Vietnam and comes home to a country that would rather not hear about it, including from a veterans’ establishment that keeps telling her women were not there. Hannah writes the war and the homecoming with equal weight, and the second half is the harder one.
