The Women by Kristin Hannah-471 pages
1965 and the Vietnam War is in full swing. Frankie's (Frances) brother ships off...then she joins the Army as a nurse and follows him to Nam. Once she gets off the helicopter she is thrown straight into chaos and the fatigue of the long journey hits her full force. There is no rest for any of the doctors and nurses as they are all involved in making life and death decisions for the soldiers in their care.
In true Hannah form, she has done so much research to make the characters come to life. She also brings to the fore the heroes that had been forgotten. Excellent read.
