The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

5.0

Have you ever had a #bookhangover after finishing reading a book? A “book hangover” is described as the feeling when a reader finishes a book—usually fiction—and they can’t stop thinking about the fictional world that has run out of pages. The story is over, but the reader misses the characters or the atmosphere of the novel.

That is exactly how I felt (& still feel) after I was done reading this book. And the weird thing is that I was the one rushing from one page to the next because I needed to find out what happens to the 2 sisters, Vianne & Isabel as they live through the Second World War in France. A story about courage, humanity, resistance & love that took different forms for each of the 2 sisters. I should have taken my sweet time with the book & savoured each & every sentence but you know what, that’s what #rereads are for. This truly is an exquisite piece of writing that I would highly recommend.
