Description

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.

    One of the most moving books about war I have read in a long time. Although it is fiction, one can see the truth in how ugly war is. It makes you wonder how anyone’s ambition for power can be so strong to destroy!

    I’m kicking myself for putting this off for so long. I’m not much of a historical fiction kind of person but this book was so so good. It made me tear up and I haven’t cried for a book in awhile. I wish I could read it over again for the first time. So good.

  • A beautiful and powerful story on love in times of hardship :-)
