The Women
ON SALE NOW
The missing. The forgotten. The brave…
The Women.
From master storyteller Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds, comes the story of a turbulent, transformative era in America: the 1960s. The Women is that rarest of novels—at once an intimate portrait of a woman coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation divided by war and broken by politics, of a generation both fueled by dreams and lost on the battlefield.

“Hannah again shines her light on overlooked women in history”
―People Magazine (Book of the Week)
“Hannah’s tale, rich with period detail, is an impassioned tribute to the heroism of the many thousands who did serve, as well as a hymn to female solidarity in the darkest of settings. It’s a surprisingly original take on a well-trodden subject.”
―The Times (London)
“Hannah enjoys the authorial reach to educate legions of readers about the significant subjects she dramatizes. In doing so she demonstrates that, just like the women she writes about, she deserves to be recognized.”
―Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Hannah is in top form here… Hannah’s real superpower is her ability to hook you along from catastrophe to catastrophe, sometimes peering between your fingers, because you simply cannot give up on her characters. She gathers women into the (Vietnam) experience with moving conviction.”
―The New York Times
“Hannah tells the story of real but unsung heroes”
―The Washington Post

Hey everyone, this is for all readers and book clubs who keep asking me “what’s next?” If you’re interested, I finally have an almost-there answer. I thought it might be fun for you to follow along with me on the journey to publication for my new book. Readers are always asking why it takes so long. There are a lot of steps along the way. I’ve already made it through the year of research and clarifying (coming up with) an idea I can’t turn away from, and then two years of writing different versions of that idea and now —at last—I have hopefully finished the final large edit from my fabulous editor. I should find out soon whether I dive back in or push off to go forward. Next up is title and copy edit. Follow along and I’ll let you know how it moves through the process, on its way to you. I may even ask your opinions along the way. There may be other fun news in 2027, like THE NIGHTINGALE MOVIE RELEASE. I’ll do my best to get you all the news about everything first. So please share and follow, and I’ll try to get you all the BTS scoop!#kristinhannah #bookstagram #bookclub #writinglife #booksin2027.
Woo hoo! Thank you @bonnie_garmus_author and @scribnerbooks and @msrucci.editor. We’ve all been waiting a long time for this one. Can’t wait to dig in! You can preorder now!
