The Women
This has been a book that has stuck with me after I listened to the last word. The first half of the book about the Vietnam War and Frankie McGrath's experience as an Army Nurse in Vietnam was the kind of listen/read that one just can not put down nor quit thinking about. The second half of the book about her problems after returning to the shores of the USA was not as fascinating. However, it was of interest to know the stories of those who returned and suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and the suffering of the returning veterans. And the end of the book offered hope that Frankie would have a happy life and a complete recovery. I liked the fact that Kristin Hannah left the ending to each reader's imagination with just a suggestion of what might happen next.
