I loved both books for different reasons. Covenant of Water is very long - too long for some - but I enjoyed the prose so much that I could have kept reading endlessly.

I've been waiting for Kristen Hannah's The Women from my library/digital but finally gave in and bought it. Worth every penny. I was too young to have had friends in Vietnam, but my older siblings did and this book gave me a perspective on enlisting, serving and returning that I truly never understood. Five stars for me.

The Women is a recent read of mine - loved it! I was too young and grew up in a different country, but found the story very compelling.

Covenant of Water - I'm like you, if the prose is well done and the story flows, I can keep reading and reading. I felt that way about Lady Tan's Circle of Women by Lisa See which I finished last week.

I LOVED Lady Tan's Circle of Women! I really like Lisa See. The Sea Women (that title might not be exactly right), was great, too.
