I am absolutely speechless. π»ππ πΎππππ by Kristin Hannah takes readers on a journey alongside the women of the Vietnam War. This novel was absolutely stunning, completely devastating, and incredibly overwhelming, in the most awe-inspiring way. It broke me, and awoke me, and left me raw with emotion.
Readers follow sweet Frankie (Frances), an all-American girl from a wealthy California suburb. Hoping to follow in her brother's footsteps and hoping to make her family proud, she enlists in the Vietnam War as a nurse, only to discover the gruesome reality that is Vietnam. The world that she returns to is just as unforgiving, and Frankie is left bereft, held afloat only by the other brave women who were at her side during the war.
This story will leave you astounded, but with a renewed sense of gratitude for the unsung heroes who fought wars for our country, especially the women who were never recognized or respected as an integral part of these wars. These individuals upheld the beliefs that our freedom is of utmost importance and fought with valor and bravery for each and every one of us.
Many thanks to partners, St Martin's Press and NetGalley for sharing this gifted review copy with me.
