Review: Amazing book!!!!! - This book is amazing! The love, the struggle, the details… OMG! So so so good!
Review: Emotional and heartbreaking - The Women is a heart-wrenching historical fiction novel that follows the journey of Frances “Frankie” McGrath, a young woman who enlists as a nurse during the Vietnam War. Through Frankie’s eyes, we experience the highs and lows of service, the struggles of being a woman in a male-dominated world, and the lifelong scars of war, both seen and unseen. I’ll admit, it took me longer than usual to finish this, even though I love anything about war, politics, and espionage. Part 1 of the book had me absolutely hooked—I flew through it! The character-building is phenomenal, the sequence of events is gripping, and the tragedies made me teary-eyed more than once. Frankie’s resilience and her moments of triumph had me cheering for her, and the friendship between the three women added a layer of depth and authenticity. The book does an excellent job highlighting the unique challenges women faced during that era. However, Part 2 slowed down quite a bit for me. The pacing dragged, and I found myself getting bored at times. Luckily, it picked up again toward the end, bringing the story back to life. Kristin Hannah reminds me so much of Danielle Steel, one of my all-time favorite authors. The themes and emotional depth of The Women instantly brought to mind Steel’s Message from Nam, a book that remains unforgettable to me. If you love Steel’s works, you’ll likely appreciate this one too. Overall, this is another beautiful, emotional story from Hannah that will appeal to historical fiction fans. While not perfect, it’s a book that will stay with me.
