Kristin Hannah is one of my favourite authors and she has yet again written another phenomenal book.
Aged 21, nurse Frankie McGrath enlists into the US army and sets off for Vietnam. She hopes to serve her country, save lives and return a hero.
She is faced with the harsh reality of war as she reports for duty and this is is her story of love, family, friendship, bravery and battling PTSD when she returns.
Hannah’s research is very thorough and her storytelling is just wonderful. I didn’t realise how much truth was withheld from the US citizens by the government and the hostility the returning servicemen and women endured on their return.
One of the best books I’ve read this year and I’d like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Easy 5 stars for me, this was amazing to read. I’ve never actually read anything to do with Vietnam so this was definitely an eye opening story for me and not being funny but this Author is never level with her story telling. I started reading and it sucked me in on the first page and I couldn’t stop reading. The characters were so well thought of and built, i was always rooting the the main character ‘Frankie’ and how she and women back in those days were oppressed and it mad me angry in places. Lots of feelings and thoughts. You cannot go wrong with this author and yet again she’s done amazing, giving these women a voice finally.

In 1965 Frankie’s brother has joined the navy and is going to Vietnam, she decides to volunteer as an Army Nurse and follow him out there.
An incredible story of bravery, dedication and the friends she made along the way.
Thank you to NetGalley and Pan MacMillan for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.
