A review by karteabooks
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

5.0

 

This is my first book by this author, I have several others on my tbr, and after reading this I will certainly be reading more. 

 

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. 

 

I’m writing this a few days after finishing the book as I’m still trying to put into words just how this book has made me feel. 

 

This is an amazing story that I’m encouraging everyone that enjoys historical fiction to read and I have already gifted several of my friends copies of this book. 

 

I highly recommend this.
