Not my usual genre so a bit tricky for me to rate it but I found some of the love story elements really corny and the grim war elements unrelenting, which to be fair i guess is because war is unrelenting. I felt the story didn't relate to the title. It's called Women but it's really only about one woman. The main protagonist is certainly the protagonist.... the other characters don't really get a look in which i found frustrating.

No book has ever made me cry as much as this one. I felt so much for Frankie and felt like I learned a lot about a time period I knew little about.
