A sweeping, immersive novel about a young woman who enlists as an army nurse during the Vietnam War – and the world she returns to. Kristen Hannah at her most gripping. Sjaniël’s standout read of the year.
Sjaniël says: "Probably the best book I’ve read in years. I don’t read as much as I like and I’m not an "author expert" - I usually read classic novels, but this past year I read around five modern novels and this was definitely the one I enjoyed the most. It is full of grit and triumph and, even though it took me a chapter or two to really get into, it left me feeling like I’d had such an immersive experience."
Set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, The Women follows Frances McGrath – a young woman who follows her brother into service and discovers a world that will change her forever. A novel about courage, identity and what it means to come home. Winner of multiple awards and a word-of-mouth phenomenon.
