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.

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.

Tales of heroics in the face of the Nazi invasion of France. Two sisters, Vianne and Isabel, completely different in every way, each find their own way to survive the war, but are met with impossible choices every step of the way. Just one gutwrenching, heartbreaking moment after the other.

Oh wow. I don't even know what to say, I truly loved this one. Sitting here with tears streaming down my face at the ending - what a beautiful story about two courageous sisters. I've been wanting to read this one for awhile and the wait is always so long for it on Libby, glad I finally got my hands on it! AHHHHHHHHHHHH.
