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.
