Thursday Night Book Club: The Women

Come talk books with other bibliophiles! This book group will meet on the second Thursday of the month. Limited copies of the current selection will be available at the Lending Desk. Registration is not required.

This month we will be reading "The Women" by Kristin Hannah.

Frances “Frankie” McGrath, a twenty-year-old nursing student from Southern California, joins the Army Nurse Corps during the Vietnam War after her brother ships out to serve. Thrust into the chaos and destruction of war, Frankie confronts the brutal realities of life, death, and camaraderie on the front lines, forging deep bonds with fellow soldiers. Yet, her greatest challenge comes after the war, as she returns to a divided America grappling with protests and a nation eager to forget Vietnam. This richly drawn novel celebrates the courage and sacrifice of women in war, offering a poignant tribute to their often-overlooked heroism.
