| I read this for a book club. It's the first book I've read by Kristin Hannah. I knew nothing about her work as a writer and had zero expectations, good or bad, but about twenty pages in, it became clear that The Women is basically a Lifetime movie in ...more | |

Readers of novels know that for true events or situations, novels can be better at showing people’s lived experiences than any newspaper article. And that’s what this novel shows: The sheer insanity of having to live under a regime of stratified l" Read more of this review » |

“Have you ever heard a five-year-old recite the Pledge of Allegiance, Arthur? It's creepy as hell. Their enunciation is perfect, but they have no idea what kind of promise they're making, of what's being called for. No one tells you until later that breaking your words amounts to treason.

They were half formed, but went a little like this: asking something like that from a person ought not to be allowed.”

“The realization of such a thing cannot possibly be as beautiful as its imagining, of course.”
