My first Kristin Hannah novel!
This story was gut wrenching but incredible. I learned so much about the Vietnam war and how women played a part. I have gained some serious respect for veterans after reading this. It teaches an important lesson of empathy and how easy it is to turn a blind eye to something you don't understand. As well as how misinformation can destroy lives.
This is a heavy read. I don't typically read historical fiction because it can be filled with uncomfortable subject matter but that's exactly why it's important to read. I hope this novel opens me up to other important stories.
