MASH recounts a fictionalized account of the author's experiences as a surgeon in an Army Field Hospital during the Korean War in the 1950s. By the time the book was published, the Vietnam War was in full swing, and many saw the book against that backdrop. Robert Altman turned the book into a very successful film, and following that was the highly popular TV series that ran for about ten years.
Trigger Warnings: There is a lot of detailed discussion of medical operations.

Nora Stephens’ life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine.
Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart.
In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands
enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby.
Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August
when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away—with visions of a small-town transformation
for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead
of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed
bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from
back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many
times and it’s never been cute.
Trigger Warnings: Anxiety & Panic Attacks, Depression (mentioned), Stroke (parent), Grief & Loss Depiction, Death of a Mother Recounted.
