Just finished reading another Hannah book. This book kept me riveted. I want to learn more about the Vietnam War. Thank you for keeping us educated on topics that were not transparent to the public.
What a great interview. On the issue of rotisserie chicken - mutilation and slaughter of farm animals is obviously a form of the most vicious type of abuse. We can’t sweep that issue under the carpet and make it sound like it’s still acceptable.
I just finished listening to the audio book and loved it! Have always loved Pres Lincoln. Thank you for your book and the interview was very very interesting.
I’m so excited to watch this interview! I just finished this novel and it is easily one of my favorite books of all time! Highly recommend the audible. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Our book club is going to share The Women. We remembered TV show, China Beach about nurses at a Vietnam evacuation hospital. Dana Delaney starred, it aired April 1988-July 1991 for four seasons.
There is ABSOLUTELY ZERO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA. Saying it’s a chemical imbalance or whatever is false. No proof whatsoe!!! Jerry Marzynsky ( 40 yr psychotherapist) formally after working with hundreds of so called schizophrenics finally knew what the truth was!!! DSM full of lies they have a “ disorder” for EVERYTHING from not liking math, siblings fighting to using too much caffeine.. all “ disorders” according to the DSM( psychiatric bible) foolish!!! ALL THEORIES!!!!!
9:30 That's not how I read it. The point is that she's obsessed with him because he traumatized her so badly, she can't move on, and at 32, part of her is still 15. She calls him to relive her trauma and only sees herself through his eyes. She was never able to form her own identity. He told her she was a seductress and she sees herself like the Fiona Apple song, a criminal.
I think that when I learned more about women in Vietnam was from watching the amazing tv drama series, China Beach. It had a gut wrenching impact on me. I was a kid during the war but I was devastated once my grandparents told me what “casualties” were. I was mortified. I wish China Beach could be streamed, would love to watch it again after reading The Women. I’ve heard it can’t because of all the great music in it, not being able to be approved. 💔 These women should be honored more. I love this novel, I’m sure I’ll read it again. Thank you so much for this story!
Thank you for writing the Women. It should be required reading for everyone that had a Vietnam veteran in their family. I wish you had written it 30 years ago it's given me a better understanding of what my husband went thru. So much of this book has made it clear why he never became the man he was meant to be. He served from 67 to 68 This book has helped me fall back in love with him. Unfortunately he passed away from the affects of Agent Orange 4 years ago. Thank you so much ❤️ 07/24
I regularly watch your RU-vid channel videos. You create very nice video content. RU-vid platform is also a best platform to sell your product. But do you know anything about Facebook Ads Camping and Google Ads?
I enjoyed every bit of this book. I loved the location and emotional descriptors and really appreciated the twists and turns. And more than anything, I appreciated that it all made sense in the real world and there are no loose ends. Even though I guessed the big reveal, I definitely didn't expect all the little pieces that built up to it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mysteries, historical fiction, and psychological thrillers. This was an excellent interview, too. I appreciate the questions used.
I read this book in 2021 as we were still in pandemic mode. I would like to read again after listening to this book club talk. I find her journey as a writer very interesting. So diverse, but keeping the theme of strong women. Actually, the very first book of hers I read was Firefly Lane.
I have bought two different Tess Gerritsen's books but the story are same 😢 how can it be 😮 they are "Keeping the Dead" and "The keepsake", different name but the content is identical.
I really liked this book. It had a lot of interesting historical details. It was recommended to me by my librarian. She knows what kinds of books I like.
I loved hearing Lisa Wingate delve into the inspiration behind 'Shelterwood' with Carol Fitzgerald. Her journey into the forgotten history of Native American 'elf children' and the untold stories of the Winding Stair Mountains is both poignant and enlightening. It's wonderful to see such meaningful narratives brought to light through literature."
Can't wait to read; library just added it this morning and I'm #4. Loved your discussion as I spent some time in OK and am also an alumni of women's history and identify with so much you talked about. Young women need to learn what their mothers and grandmothers fought to get for them, Title IX and the rights of womanhood.
"Lisa Wingate's discussion with Carol Fitzgerald about her new historical fiction novel, SHELTERWOOD, sounds fascinating! The inspiration from Kate Barnard's story and the exploration of 'elf children' who lived in trees adds a unique and captivating element to the book. I love how Lisa ties in her personal history and deep connection to Eastern Oklahoma and the Winding Stair Mountains. It's always enriching to learn about lesser-known historical events and cultural nuances that we didn't get to study in school
The baby sister Mary has such a beautiful soul. I’m Going to keep that lady in my prayers. After all her trauma she chose to stink around and continue what her mom did. Big ups to her she is amazing
Hello there, I saw that you have a RU-vid channel which I thoroughly analyzed and identified some issues that are affecting its growth. If you solve these problems, your channel will grow and reach more people and channel traffic. And views, likes, and subscriptions to the channel will increase. Please let me know if you are interested. I am waiting for your response.
Ruth Reichl's journey from memoir to novel sounds fascinating! It's inspiring to see how her personal experiences have fueled her creativity. Setting the story in the 1980s adds an extra layer of nostalgia and intrigue, offering readers a glimpse into a different era of travel and dining culture. And the fact that she dined at all the places mentioned in the book adds authenticity and richness to the narrative. It's wonderful to hear that she's shedding light on lesser-known aspects of iconic places like Shakespeare and Company. I'm eager to discover the personal touches she's woven into the character of Stella, which undoubtedly adds depth and authenticity to the story.
