The Women Gebundene Ausgabe – 6. Februar 2024
Kaufoptionen und Plus-Produkte
A #1 bestseller on The New York Times, USA Today, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times!
From the celebrated author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds comes Kristin Hannah's The Women—at once an intimate portrait of coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation divided.
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.
As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is over-whelmed by the chaos and destruction of war. Each day is a gamble of life and death, hope and betrayal; friendships run deep and can be shattered in an instant. In war, she meets—and becomes one of—the lucky, the brave, the broken, and the lost.
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.
The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm’s way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. 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.

Pressestimmen
"Hannah again shines her light on overlooked women in history" --People Magazine (Book of the Week)
"Hannah is in top form here... Hannah's real superpower is her ability to hook you along from catastrophe to catastrophe, sometimes peering between your fingers, because you simply cannot give up on her characters. She gathers women into the (Vietnam) experience with moving conviction." --The New York Times
"The Women is historical fiction at its very best. So moving, so wrenching, and yet, in the end, uplifting. Brava! I loved The Nightingale and The Four Winds, but The Women is my favorite." --Nicholas D. Kristof, Pulitzer Prize-winning coauthor of Half the Sky
"One of the greatest storytellers of our time, Kristin Hannah, tackles one of the most cruel and despicable wars of the last century, the Vietnam War. The Women reveals the powerful contributions and horrific sacrifices of the American military nurses who served in a war whose agencies refused to acknowledge that they were even there. Perhaps no words can bring closure to a nation still ashamed of booing our returning heroes, but the heroine, Frances McGrath, stirs a deep, overdue compassion and tears for every single soldier--and especially the forgotten women who sacrificed so much. Never has a novel of war metamorphosed so profoundly into a story of the human heart." --Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing
"Stuns with sacrifice; uplifts with heroism . . . an important, long overdue tribute to the brave women nurses who served in Vietnam." --Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry
"Hannah's emotionally charged page-turner (after The Four Winds) centers on a young nurse whose life is changed by the Vietnam War. Fans of women's historicals will enjoy this magnetic wartime story." --Publishers Weekly
"Many would say that the nurses who helped fight the Vietnam War were forgotten. Believe me, for those of us who were there, these women were never forgotten--and never will be. Kristin Hannah honors them with this novel." --Karl Marlantes, author of Matterhorn
"Hannah enjoys the authorial reach to educate legions of readers about the significant subjects she dramatizes. In doing so she demonstrates that, just like the women she writes about, she deserves to be recognized." -Minneapolis Star Tribune
"A moving, gripping tale that pays tribute to the under-appreciated skill and courage of combat nurses." --Booklist, starred review
"Hannah tells the story of real but unsung heroes" --Washington Post
"Enough time has passed that most people acknowledge the individual heroism that took place in Vietnam, even though history doesn't look kindly on the war itself," he wrote. "People over there did things that we can -- and should -- be proud of. That's one reason why I'm glad to see a book like 'The Women' doing so well. It's a beautifully written tribute to a group of veterans who deserve more appreciation for the incredible sacrifices they made." --Bill Gates

- Bewertet in Deutschland am 13. März 2025My god... this book tore me to pieces. It broke my heart multiple times and I've been bawling my eyes out for the past hour finishing this book. It was a tough read. Heavy and sad and powerful. "The Women" is a brilliant, heart-shattering masterpiece that I would recommend to everyone, regardless of what books and genres you normally read.
But please make sure you'll have plenty of tissues at hand. Trust me, you'll need them.
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 29. Dezember 2024Kristin Hannah delivers an unforgettable journey with The Women. This novel captivated me from start to finish, and I'm not sure that I have the right words to describe it. The immersive writing of Frankie’s experience as an Army nurse during the Vietnam War was hitting deep, and the second half shed light on the challenges veterans faced upon returning to a divided America, a history I found heart-wrenching.
Frankie's personal growth is incredible, but it's the relationships she builds and the unforgettable side characters that truly elevate the story. For fans of historical fiction, even those who, like me, don’t read it often, this is a must-read. The Women is a beautifully written story that will stay with me for a long time.
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 7. Februar 2025The story that i still keep thinking about long after reading. Its a bit long for the little that happens but the point is very important one.
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 19. Januar 2025This is my third Kristin Hannah book (after The Nightingale and The Great Alone), and I absolutely loved it! The story is powerful, emotional and so well-written. Kristin Hannah is a great writer and I highly recommend The Women, I couldn’t put it down.
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 11. Januar 2025This story had to be written and shared. It took me a few days to read the book, there was so much to read, learn, understand, discover… and bless those people who came alive in the book and died… may humanity win always
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 22. Oktober 2024This book held my interest from the first to the last page. Can thoroughly recommend.
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 11. August 2024Read it in two days. The first third is set in the middle of the war in Vietnam and that's sometimes brutal and sad. But the book is about this young woman who is a nurse in Vietnam and how this experience changes her life.
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 19. Juli 2024The book is initially about loss on every scale. Women played an important role in the Viet Nam war, but were never seen as veterans. The author depicts well the ravages of war and the horrors humans conflict on each other, whether on family members, spouses or enemies. Well worth the read.

5,0 von 5 Sternen Absolutely Stunning Historical Fiction
I had no idea I was a fan of historical fiction until The Women by Kristin Hannah. This book is everything—deeply emotional, beautifully written, and completely immersive. She makes you fall in love with the characters, and before you know it, you’re fully invested in their journey. The story is powerful, heart-wrenching, and unforgettable. If you love a book that makes you feel something, this is it!

4,0 von 5 Sternen Emotional
I admit I'm not an emotional reader. It takes a lot me make me shed tears while reading, but the ending of this book was surprisinly emotional for me. I love reading historical novels, but I knew little about the Vietnam War and its outcomes to the soldiers and nurses who ventured in there in service. A really good book that like many other that I've been reading, show the forgotten role of women in wars that marked a whole generation.
