“The women had a story to tell, even if the world wasn't quite yet ready to hear it, and their story began with three simple words. We were there.”
Kristen Hannah is quickly becoming my favorite author. This is my third book by her and she is a wonderful storyteller. She knows how to captivate her audience.
“That was the starting and ending point in life: love. The journey was everything in between.”
In The Women you follow Frankie who is combat nurse durning The Vietnam War. She tells her story about her time before and after the war.
“Thank God for girlfriends. In this crazy, chaotic, divided world that was run by men, you could count on the women.”
I LOVED this book so much. I learned so much about the Vietnam War. Kristen had me googling info like I was back in High School and honestly I loved it. This book is more than just a war story. It captures female friendships, ptsd representation a world we used to live in not too long ago. I loved how much music was mentioned in this book as well. That time era I think had the best Rock N Roll so I loved to see it get the recognition it deserved.
I have like 300 quotes from this book that will stay with me for a lifetime.
“Maybe happy now, happy for a moment, is all we really get. Happy forever seems a shitload to ask in a world on fire.”
The Nightingale- 4.5 ⭐️
The Great Alone- 5 ⭐️
The Women- 5 ⭐️
“We were the last believers, my generation. We trusted what our parents taught us about right and wrong, good and evil, the American myth of equality and justice and honor. I wonder if any generation will ever believe again. People will say it was the war that shattered our lives and laid bare the beautiful lie we’d been taught. And they’d be right. And wrong. There was so much more. It’s hard to see clearly when the world is angry and divided and you’re being lied to.”
