‘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.

Interessant vinkel på en ellers velbeskrevet periode. Jeg synes, at jeg altid bliver klogere af at lytte til/læse en bog af Kristin Hannah.En dygtig oplæser.

Den er brutal. Den gør ondt. Det er ubegribeligt. Den er vidunderlig. Og Julia Whelan som oplæser makes all the difference!

En ung kvindes barske kamp for at blive accepteret af sin familie - og efter hjemkomsten fra Vietnam af Hr og Fru Amerika. “Du kan ikke være veteran fra Vietnam. Der var ikke kvinder i Vietnam”. Jo, der var!En bog for læsere af bøger om barske kvinder.

FANTASTISK bog!!! Den vil blive ved mig længe (ligesom hendes andre bøger). Den er opløftende, hjerteskærende, klog og fuld af karakterer man simpelthen kommer til at elske. Derudover er den fuld af twist and turns, så man er hele tiden med på rejsen uden at have den mindste idé om hvad der mon vil ske. Læs eller hør den!!
