The Women Audiobook by Kristin Hannah— narrated by Kristin Hannah and Julia Whelan
Kristin Hannah's The Women is a Vietnam War novel about Frankie McGrath, a sheltered California nursing student who joins the Army Nurse Corps in 1965 and then has to come home to a country that wants to forget the war. Historical fiction with real emotional force.
Why the audiobook wins
Kristin Hannah reads her own novel, sharing the narration with Julia Whelan. The Women follows Frankie McGrath from a sheltered California upbringing into the Army Nurse Corps in Vietnam, and then home to a country that seems to believe women were never there.
At nearly fifteen hours, it suits a long drive or a few weeks of commutes. The prose is easy and the chapters keep moving, so the length goes quickly even though the subject is heavy. The Vietnam hospital scenes are graphic, and the second half is about coming home.
One Audible credit covers the whole book.
