The Women’s Bar Association (WBA), Oakland County region of the Women Lawyers Association of Michigan, is proud to present the first Literary Ladies Book Club meeting of the season on Thursday, September 9, at 6 p.m.
To kick off the book club this year, the WBA will be reading “The Women” by Kristin Hannah, author of “The Nightingale” and “The Four Winds.”
In “The Women,” twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath joins the Army Nurse Corps in 1965 and heads to Vietnam. In war, she meets?and becomes one of?the lucky, the brave, the broken, and the lost. War, however, is just the beginning for Frankie and her veteran friends. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America, to angry protesters, and to a country that wants to forget Vietnam.
This novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism will offer the Book Club the opportunity to discuss a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era.
Anyone interested in attending this event or joining the Literary Ladies for the monthly Book Club in the future should email Natasha Rao at natasha-rao@hotmail.com.
