In this episode of Book Interrupted, the club dives into The Women by Kristin Hannah—Virginia’s long-awaited book pick and her exciting return to the podcast. What happens when a group of women with almost no knowledge of the Vietnam War is handed a novel that brings it vividly to life? The result is a powerful, emotional journey none of them expected. Kristin Hannah’s gripping portrayal not only left them more informed but deeply moved. The discussion delves into Frankie’s complex love life, her heartbreaks, and the relentless trauma she faces both during and after the war. Ultimately, the group agrees: the heart of this novel lies in the powerful female friendships that carry the story and its characters through even the darkest moments. It’s an emotional ride—so much so that more than one member was brought to tears by the end. Yes, Sarah cried... but so did someone you'd never expect! Who was it? You’ll have to listen to find out.
