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.

Thanks to @readingwithcarolsclub, I can finally move this off of my TBR! A beautiful and heartbreaking story of two sisters in France during WW2, this took me a little bit to get into. But the author's descriptions of war and survival were so captivating...and girlfriend can tell a STORY. It went from good to great in the last 100 pages of the book for me, and it you are a fan of historical fiction, I think you will really enjoy it!

This would not have been a book that I picked up on my own. I don't remember how it was recommended to me, but I'm glad it was. It is an intense, emotional journey of two French sisters during WW2 and how women helped with the war effort.

This was a beautiful read and I couldn't let go of the book in the last chapters.
I know it's a work of fiction, but when it depicts something so absolutely heartbreaking, at times almost unbearable to read, I don't want to give out an opinion - I feel like it doesn't really matter.

The last six words of the book are absolutely beautiful, as is the rest of it of course - although beautiful is not the word I'd choose. It'll stay in my head and in my heart a while.
