The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
5 ⭐️
Genre: Historical Fiction
A beautiful novel about the lives of two sisters in France during World War II and their struggle to survive and resist the German occupation of France. An incredible story of love, loss and survival and about the resilience of humanity. Kristin Hannah does an amazing job of writing inspiring, complex characters while not shying away from writing about the brutalities of war. The plot is suspenseful and well-paced with two timelines and multiple points of view that keep you guessing throughout. A powerful and moving novel, The Nightingale isn’t a book I’ll forget anytime soon.
If you love strong female characters and WWII historical fiction, definitely go read this book!
