The Nightingale
by Kristin Hannah
I went into this book knowing nothing—all I knew is it was highly rated and revered. This book was incredibly captivating and gave me a new perspective on World War II, from the French side of things. Kristen Hannah weaves the stories of two vastly different sisters and their families through the many years of the Holocaust using incredible imagery and dialogue. The characters are flawed in a believable way—I appreciated both sisters and all the people they were connected with because Hannah wrote them so well. The dialogue was strong, raw, and felt like real transcripts. The language barriers and the switching from French to German accents and wording was brilliantly executed. What an incredibly well-written book about loss, pain, grief, family, and love.
