In October we met at Molly’s home for a fun evening to discuss Kristen Hannah’s book, “The Women”.

We had a bonfire discussion of this well liked novel about the women who served in the Vietnam War.

These women who personally endangered their lives and saved many other lives were never acknowledged for their service. It was an unpopular war and when these veterans returned home they were spat upon and never given proper treatment for their post traumatic disorders especially the women. We all had personal stories about the period in history. Some of us had spouses who were actually in Vietnam.

Some of us had friends who were there. Maybe we should have discussed the book more but it was such a tumultuous time for us we all felt compelled to share. We made it fun by wearing sixties clothing and displayed some protest signs.

Molly had appetizers, chili, salad and lots of good wine. We were all chatty and enjoyed the evening!

I chose the next book by Sonia Parnell about a lady spy called Virginia Hall. The title is, “A Woman of No Importance”.
