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.

Needed editing badly to get rid of the dreadfully long, unnecessary descriptions. Plot driven so that the endless clichés and bad writing are overlooked by many.

This book was amazing. The scenery and sense used, to the tiny details that get all wrapped up, to the plot, it is all amazing! A very insightful read. I have never felt more grateful for all I have!

I'm not a big reader of historical fiction, but this book really grew on me. The amount of research that went into this novel is seen in the many details that Kristin Hannah weaved into the story. I appreciated the honest brutality of the description of the war but it was intermixed with romance, bravery, and family which is what made it a great novel. Looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.

The diary of Anne Frank but for adults. So good but be prepared for tears!
