About the Book



"The nightingale tells the story of two sisters, separated by years and experiences, by ideals, passion, and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France."--Back cover.



Book Synopsis



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.

It's a slow start, so you have to read at least half before it gets good. But it is so worth it!

I absolutely love this book. It was my first Kristin Hannah book and now I want to buy them all. The shipping was fast and it didn't come with that 30% target sticker on the front that in store books come with.

I absolutely loved this book. It is my favorite of Kristen Hannah’s books. I read it in ONE day! I couldn’t put it down. Tremendous character development, historical insight that almost transports a person to that time period. Tender, and heartbreaking at times. I cried at least 4 times. Beautiful story of love, family, selflessness and friendship and the commitment to the four, even in the most astonishingly difficult times. I will be reading it again!!!

I adore this book. It’s a little slow at first but eventually pulls you right in and you won’t want to put it down. A beautiful and heartfelt story that really got me back into reading after not picking up a book for many years. Highly recommend! Also, can we just talk about how STUNNING the cover is?!

This was one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. Although this is a fiction novel of two sisters during the Holocaust era, you know this was the reality of many women. Fiction inspired by true, heartbreaking realities. Everyone needs to read!

Best book I have read in 2023 if not best book ever. Though it is thick, it was a quick read. Loved the characters and learning a few new things about WW2 as well. I recommend it to everyone. It’s the educational emotional rollercoaster I didn’t know I needed but will keep this book in my personal library forever
