The Next Page Book & Social Club will meet at 6:30pm Wednesday, September 18 in the courtyard next to the bookstore to discuss The Women by Kristen Hannah.“Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances "Frankie" McGrath hears these words, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965, the world is changing, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path.
But war is just the beginning for Frankie and her veteran friends. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America, to angry protesters, and to a country that wants to forget Vietnam. A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era.” (St. Martin’s Press)
The group is open to anyone who enjoys reading and discussing fine books. For more information, message us on Facebook or email [email protected] Because we’re meeting outdoors, please bring a lawn or camp chair with you. We have a limited number of chairs for those who can’t bring their own.
Join us on the 18th for a great night underneath a glorious September sky.
