Waiting on Wednesday: The Women

Hi Everyone,

Stopping by to share a book with you that I am waiting on. 

Author: Kristin Hannah
 
Summary from Goodreads:
The missing. The forgotten. The brave… The women.

From master storyteller Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds, comes the story of a turbulent, transformative era in America: the 1960s. The Women is that rarest of novels—at once an intimate portrait of a woman coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation divided by war and broken by politics, of a generation both fueled by dreams and lost on the battlefield.

“Women can be heroes, too.”

When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these unexpected words, it is a revelation. Raised on idyllic Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different choice for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path.

As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed and politically divided America.

The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on the story of all women who put themselves in harm’s way to help others. Women whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has all too often been forgotten. A novel of searing insight and lyric beauty, The Women is a profoundly emotional, richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose extraordinary idealism and courage under fire define a generation.

Dewey's Pre-Readathon Challenges

Stopping by to share with some of the pre-readathon festivities:

This Challenge has Two Levels.

Level One: Read one book for each time period: Past, Present, and Future. You decide when Present is, such as present year, present decade, present century. Then having decided that, you can choose what is Past or Future in comparison to the Present.

Level Two:Read one book with each time description: In Time and Outside of Time. Some examples? Anything set In Time such as music or poetry or sequence or anything else that works for you. Outside of Time such as timelessness of beauty or art or philosophy or where time is nonlinear or anything else that works for you. (I'm thinking timelessness of Shakespeare.)

Enjoy!

Waiting on Wednesday: The Snow Forest

Author: Elizabeth Gilbert
 
Summary from Goodreads:
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of City of Girls and Eat Pray Love, a dramatic story of one wild and mysterious girl in a pristine wilderness, and of the mystical connection between humans and the natural world.

What does it take to escape the world?

In a remote, high-altitude corner of Siberia, a lone family of religious fundamentalists lives isolated and undetected. Since retreating in the 1930s, they have scrounged off the cold and unforgiving land, refusing all contact with society even as they raise their children. Untethered from human progress, unaware even of the events of WWII, their knowledge and beliefs remain frozen in time, until their mountaintop homestead is finally discovered.

In 1980, one unlikely woman is sent to bridge the chasm between modern existence and the family’s ancient, snow forest life. She has spent her life in a different kind of hiding, and what she discovers in the taiga, and in the unique youngest girl, will prove stranger and more miraculous than anything she ever expected, upturning her own quiet life forever.
