The story this book told me was of survival in times of war and crisis. So many stories of war depict the pining wife awaiting the triumphant return of her war hero husband. The Nightingale gives an honest and gritty account of what actual life is in a war ravaged country. It also shows the lengths one is willing to go to and must go to to protect their very existence in the world. No story centered around WWII is easy to read but The Nightingale shines light on even more of the atrocities carried out by the Nazi’s in Europe.

Loved this book. Made the mistake of reading the end at a cafe - got a few concerned looks.
