"There were no women in Vietnam."
 "If you never saw a woman, you were lucky. It meant you didn't end up in a hospital." 

It's happened again.
 As a nurse, a friend, a woman - this one hit the feels.
 The Women was a tough, emotional read. I knew this going into it. Another great one from Kristin Hannah, my new favourite of hers.
 "She knew, too...she would be thrust back into a world where Vietnam veterans were supposed to be invisible, the women most of all."
 Absolutely recommended.
