WIN! One of 5 signed bookplate copies of ‘The Women’ by Kristin Hannah

Set in 1965, The Women follows Frances ‘Frankie’ McGrath, a twenty-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 by Kristin Hannah 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.

‘The Women’ by Kristin Hannah is out February 13 through Pan Macmillan Australia, RRP $34.99 in paperback.
