Title: The Nightingale
Author: Kristin Hannah
Genre: historical fiction
Summary: From Amazon: 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.
Rating: Great
Why I Like It:
It's hard to say I 'liked'
this book about the Nazi occupation of France. I liked the
characters...the sisters and their family, and the integrity they had in
the face of unimaginable hardship. It will be interesting to see the
movie when it comes out.
Other: audiobook
Reviewer: Avery
Just got done listening to this novel. (During recent trips to M-boro,TN & Whitehouse) Excellent story & so well written! This was about the European part of WW2. For the last several months I've been reading "We Band of Angels" which is about the American nurses trapped on Bataan by the Japanese which is the Japan part of WW2. It was interesting to learn more about both parts of the war at the same time. I don't recommend either of these books if your not ready for emotional books.
