THE WOMEN - KRISTIN HANNAH KARTONIERT (TB)

The missing. The forgotten. The brave... The women. From master storyteller Kristin Hannah  #1
New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds  comes the story of a
turbulent  transformative era in America: the 1960s. The Women is that rarest of novels-at once
an intimate portrait of a woman coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation
divided by war and broken by politics  of a generation both fueled by dreams and lost on the
battlefield. Women can be heroes  too. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances Frankie
McGrath hears these unexpected words  it is a revelation. Raised on 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
choice for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam  she impulsively joins the
Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. As green and inexperienced as the 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 and politically divided America. The Women is the story of
one woman gone 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 all too
often been forgotten. A novel of searing insight and lyric beauty  The Women is a profoundly
emotional  richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose extraordinary idealism and courage
under fire define a generation.
