The Women
The Instant Number One Bestseller From The Author Of The Nightingale
SINOPSE
The Number One bestselling novel which has captured the hearts of readers across the world. The Women is a novel of epic love and devastating loss. And it is a story of a memorable heroine, and her deep friendships, whose idealism and courage under fire will define an era.
Their friendship changed lives. Their bravery changed history.
'Women can be heroes, too'. When twenty-year-old nursing student, Frances "Frankie" McGrath, hears these unexpected words, it is a revelation. Raised on California's idyllic Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different path for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurses Corps and follows his path.
As green and inexperienced as the young men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed America. Frankie will also discover the true value of female friendship and the heartbreak that love can cause.

OPINIÃO DOS LEITORES
Uma
Ana Teixeira
Este é o primeiro livro que leio desta autora e estou rendida! É uma história incrível sobre amizade, guerra, sociedade, política, amor, saúde mental e tanto mais. A forma como a autora conseguiu descrever os laços criados durante a guerra e o impacto que tudo isso teve em Franckie deu-me arrepios ao ler. Recomendo imenso!

"The women" conta-nos a história de uma enfermeira corajosa e inspiradora, no contexto da guerra do Vietnam, mas com dilemas e lutas muito atuais. A família, o amor e a amizade são os pilares de todas as mulheres desta história.
