Book Synopsis

A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK

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 could not stop reading this! Every chapter had something new and u expected to happen. I’m not a big reader, but I was consumed in this book. I love this author so much! Currently reading another one of her books and it’s just as good. I really recommend this book 👍

    This is my second time reading The Nightingale. Kristin Hannah has done a remarkable job researching and turning her work into to a creative novel of true life events. As I read this book, I felt like a character in the story with each word, page, chapter, to the books end. I felt as if I had been transformed into another person in another time living a different life. I lived the horrors and felt the loss as much as one can without physically being there. I was proud of each person who lived and died at the hands of people without humanity. The horrors and ugliness of that era should never be repeated. However, in this time of upheaval and disorder in the USA during the change in our government, has given many people great concern. Our new “leadership” behaves like an ineffective autocratic leader. This I base on his admitted lies to the people, a self proclaimed womanizer, racist, felon, with terrible personal financial management and more. He is showing many traits that were evident with Hitler. I hope that the true horrors written about in the novel, The Nightingale, are not repeated.

  • So worth the read!

    One of the best books I have ever read about this time period. As a mom, I can’t imagine.. But protecting my kids at all cost I can imagine would be the easiest decision I’ll ever make in life.
