The Nightingale
A Novel
Description
Goodreads Best Historical Novel of the Year. People's Choice Favorite Fiction Winner. #1 Indie Next Selection. Buzzfeed Best of the Year. The Wall Street Journal Best of the Year.
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.
