Georgetown Village Square (1801 35th St. NW)

 

Join the GV Book Club in the Village Square for a discussion of the group's latest reading selection, The Women by Kristin Hannah. This work of historical fiction is 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.

Join the club for a thoughtful discussion of this work.
