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

This was very good. I just live this story, but I need some time to process it. Soo good...
Ugh I just love all the characters and it was very hard to watch them go through pain. Isabelle was just so amazing, so brave, it kind of opened my eyes. I love when books teach me something, and this book taught me how hard and ugly war is. How war changes you, how life was and still is so unfair and hard. So emotional and touching, I was on the wdge of my seat. The beginning was a little slow, but I couldn't stop reading it for the majority of time. Last hundred pages were very hard and emotional.

This was an emotional read. Two sisters doing what they think is right to get through the war. One trying to save children and living with the enemy. The other joining the resistance and rescuing pilots.

This book is equal parts sad, inspiring, beautiful, and hopeful. It lives in the grey areas, like many things with war, and plucks at your heartstrings any chance it gets.
