If there's one thing Kristin Hannah's books have in common, it's their heart wrenching themes: hope, the resilience of the female spirit, and the special and essential magic found in female friendships.
Now, the New York Times bestselling author of more than 20 novels has released her newest tale of love, loss and survival, The Women, and you can win a copy.
Set in 1965, The Women follows Frances 'Frankie' McGrath, a 20-year-old nursing student who is shocked out of her sheltered and idyllic life by those five words: 'Women can be heroes, too . . .'
When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurses Corps and follows his path. Throughout her time in Vietnam and her return to a changed America, Frankie discovers the true value of female friendship and the heartbreak that love can cause.
The Women is the story of one woman who goes to war, but it shines a light on the story of all women who put themselves in harm's way to help others. Women whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has been all too often forgotten.
A novel of searing insight and lyrical beauty, The Women is a profoundly emotional, richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose extraordinary idealism and courage under fire define an era.
It's published by Pam MacMillan Australia with a recommended retail price of AUD$34.99.
