The Women by Hannah, Kristin

In 1965, nursing student Frankie McGrath, after hearing the words “Women can be heroes, too,” impulsively joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows her brother to Vietnam where she is overwhelmed by the destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed and politically divided America.

Awesome book! It was very touching. I couldn’t put it down.     - GP       5 stars

Lie Down in Darkness by Styron, William Clark

William Styron traces the betrayals and infidelities—the heritage of spite and endlessly disappointed love—that afflict the members of a Southern family and that culminate in the suicide of the beautiful Peyton Loftis.

I didn’t like it. I didn’t like any of the characters.      - CD     1 star

 

Smitten by McKenna, Rachael

In a kitten's-eye view of the world, an acclaimed animal photographer captures a series of images of charming kittens as they play, explore, find mischief, and sleep, accompanied by memorable quotations on everything from the importance of curiosity to the joy of a good nap.

Full of photos of absolutely adorable kittens. Charming!     - MS      5 stars
