I was only looking for a book that would break the shit out of me and man, this one did more than that. The Nightingale made me angry, loved, heartbroken, and more importantly, it made me realize how lucky I am to be living in this kind of world where I eat three times a day and could even slack if I want to. The hardships the victims endured in wars affected me as if I too, experienced it at the same time as them, it has that much of an impact. I wasn't much of a fan of historical fiction but after reading the Nightingale, I think I am up to pick another book from this genre and cry a little or maybe more if I were given a chance to stumble upon another emotional story as beautifully written as this.
