Read by Julia Whelan, including an Author's Note read by Kristin, revealing her inspiration for telling the women's heroic stories, which had been either forgotten or entirely overlooked.
Adored by millions and soon to be a major motion picture, The Women is a sweeping story of epic love, heartbreaking loss, extraordinary bravery and the unbreakable bond of female friendship about the women who answered the call of the Vietnam War and paid the price.
'Utterly absorbing . . . A triumph' - Taylor Jenkins Reid
'Stuns with sacrifice. Uplifts with heroism' – Bonnie Garmus
'Never has a novel of war metamorphosed so profoundly into a story of the human heart. The female heart' - Delia Owens
They answered the call. Then they fought to be remembered.
'Women can be heroes, too'.
When twenty-year-old nursing student, Frances "Frankie" McGrath, hears these unexpected words, it is a revelation. Raised on California's idyllic Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl.
But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different path for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurses Corps and follows his path.
As green and inexperienced as the young men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed America. But Frankie will also discover the true value of female friendship and the heartbreak that love can cause.
'Thank God for girlfriends. In this crazy, chaotic, divided world that was run by men, you could count on the women'

Opinie krytyków
The only downside was the endless harping on the supremacy of monogamy and the consequent denigration of male sexual desire and "adultery". I ticked it off as a sign of the times (even though the Summer of Love was just around the corner).
Brave, brutal and heart-breaking
