Praise for THE WOMEN "The Women is historical fiction at its very best. So moving, so wrenching, and yet, in the end, uplifting. Brava! I loved The Nightingale and The Four Winds, but The Women is my favorite." Nicholas D. Kristof, Pulitzer Prize-winning coauthor of Half the Sky "One of the greatest storytellers of our time, Kristin Hannah, tackles one of the most cruel and despicable wars of the last century, the Vietnam War. The Women reveals the powerful contributions and horrific sacrifices of the American military nurses who served in a war whose agencies refused to acknowledge that they were even there. Perhaps no words can bring closure to a nation still ashamed of booing our returning heroes, but the heroine, Frances McGrath, stirs a deep, overdue compassion and tears for every single soldier and especially the forgotten women who sacrificed so much. Never has a novel of war metamorphosed so profoundly into a story of the human heart." -Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing "Stuns with sacrifice; uplifts with heroism... an important, long overdue tribute to the brave women nurses who served in Vietnam." -Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry "Many would say that the nurses who helped fight the Vietnam War were forgotten. Believe me, for those of us who were there, these women were never forgotten-and never will be. Kristin Hannah honors them with this deeply moving novel." -Karl Marlantes, author of Matterhorn, What It Is Like to Go to War, Deep River, and Cold Victory
