The Nightingale: A Novel
A #1 New York Times bestseller, Wall Street Journal Best Book of the Year, and soon to be a major motion picture, this unforgettable novel of love and strength in the face of war has enthralled a generation. With courage, grace, and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of World War II and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women's war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France―a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

This novel is heartbreaking, inspiring, and now has become one of my all-time favorite reads. I found myself instantly immersed in the lives of Vianne and Isabelle, two sisters who have very different but important roles to play throughout the novel. While the two were quite different, the writing helps you to truly connect and sympathize with each of them. Their individual stories of hardships and triumphs throughout Germany's occupation of France, and the depth of their love for each other and others they called friends and family is encouraging and heartwarming. Everything about this book makes it an all-time classic. This will tug on your heartstrings! If this is on your list, I highly recommend making this your next read!
