Insightful, thought provoking, heart breaking, and one of the best books I've ever read. Dives into the deep questions surrounding the life of average French folks during WW2. Definitely worth the read!

The Nightingale is a very heavy, emotional, and heartbreaking read, but also includes strong and inspirational female main characters, who show great character growth throughout the book. Make sure you have tissues nearby
