5.0

An absolutely incredible book from beginning to end. I was extremely emotional; I often felt what the main characters did along with them. While I could never possibly understand what they were going through to its core, I hurt when they hurt, I was apprehensive throughout the book as they were, etc. I have always been fascinated with historical fiction books though I’ve found myself drawn mostly to WWII books. That said, I absolutely loved this book and how considerately detailed it was given the heavy and heartbreaking topics that Kristin Hannah had to describe.

Kristin Hannah's "The Nightingale" weaves a captivating story of love, sacrifice, and resilience. It’s both raw and thought-provoking throughout, especially poignant when read in November- a time of reflection on the courage of those who both served and lived through wars. The story had a slow start, but my initial reservations were shattered as the truly moving narrative unfolded. Be prepared for a tearful ending. A must-read that earns a heartfelt 4.5 stars.
