October is a fiction month for the Arroyo Book Club, so we will be reading The Women by Kristin Hannah for our discussion. It is the story of one woman who joins the Army Nurse Corps to follow her brother to Vietnam. To quote from the catalog description:
“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.”
