The Nightingale
A Novel, by Kristin Hannah
(St. Martin’s Press, 9780312577223, $27.99)
“Filled with sacrifice, betrayal, suspense, courage, and
ultimately, forgiveness, The Nightingale offers a
haunting glimpse of what it was like for women to
survive during WWII. Set in a small town in France,
The Nightingale tells the alternating stories of two
sisters, their father, and the friends and enemies that
occupy their lives during this tragic period of history.
Based on a true story, The Nightingale weaves a
riveting tale around the heroism of Isabelle, a young woman who serves
as a key player in the underground Resistance, and her sister, Viann, who
is back home under German occupation, near starvation and struggling to
save Jewish children. In the end, however, perhaps this novel is more
about the sisterly bonds of love that, although stretched to the limit, still
endure. You will not forget the song of The Nightingale.”
