The Women... a must-read book.
Although I have read a slew of WWII fiction, this is the first Vietnam war era one. I love the author having just finished reading The Nightengale. In my opinion, The Women is even better. Having been in college at the time, I lived through (state-side, of course) student protests, Kent State, the National Guard protecting colleges and universities, which would eventually shut down, hoping fellow classmates, my cousin, and/or my favorite uncle would return home safely.
It discusses life as an OR nurse in a short staffed field hospital dealing with the life and death of young soldiers, the fatigue, loneliness and ultimate relationships formed.
For me, this is a must read book!Vollständige Rezension lesen

A dark, but accurate, look at the real Vietnamese War.
I had read The Nightingale by Hannah and really liked it. You can see the same writing skill in Women, and the events also happen in war time. Beyond that the differences were huge. Maybe a reader half my age would not see it the same, but to me the content was current events when I was a draft-age young man. That made the first about 150 pages easier to relate to, if not exactly easy to read. Could definitely have done without all the moments of indecision about having sex. But when Frankie returns home the story turns seriously dark. While it seems an accurate depiction of some returning vets' reality, that does not make it fun to read about. In the end it is a good story, but not if you tend to take someone else's story to heart. While my sweetie found the book worthwhile, I chose not to finish it. Just too hard to read.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Not a very description title. I may have passed on it but is the book of the month for my book club.
This is an easy to read, interesting book. It tells about women soldiers during the Viet Nam war. Excellent information about a terrible era in our history.

Perfect! They went Unnoticed
Took me back to the late 60’s in a Navy town where the young flight students were in training & knew where they were going. I was young & single & witnessed first hand the stress they were under as well as their wives & girlfriends. Kristin Hannah did an outstanding job of letting her readers know how it really was. Hoping to see the movie.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Very engrossing story with convincing characters
I've just read several chapters to "The Women" and am already finding it very engrossing and well-written. It will be discussed in a future book group and I'm grateful that the book was available through ebay, and was in excellent condition. Thanks.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Who needs sleep?? Eye opening and well written.
This book was so revealing regarding g the treatment and social standing of women during the Vietnam war. I had no idea as I was a bit young during this era but it made me question what our Military is doing for combat women when they join civilian life again, even now.
Be sure to pass this book on when you’re finished so others can be educated too. Vollständige Rezension lesen

Well written, very interesting and historical.
My husband served in the Vietnam war. Flew 2 different tours out of Thailand. I am not aware of the life of women in this war. Truly interesting and compelling to learn of these women's plight.
