The Nightingale is an impressive work of historical fiction. This is the tale of two sisters on different paths, both of whom had to make devastating choices to keep themselves and their loved ones safe during World War II, and the consequences rendered by those decisions. ‘I know now what matters,...
"Don’t forget me" More humble and heroic words had never been spoken by the heroine in Kristen Hannah’s latest novel, The Nightingale. Yet, so many seem to do just that – we forget the battle that women fight during times of war. And Hannah so gracefully reminded us that their stories are th...
Sometimes I'll finish a bad book and be ok; I'm perfectly capable of stoicism regarding such things. Other times...argh. I get angry. Angry is how I feel about this one. I'll begin by saying that there are a vast number of readers who will love The Nightingale. They'll tell you how great it is. Th...

I cried several times in the end. And loved every single minute of this book. Not once was I bored, I kep...
This book is a visceral experience--powerful, moving and very unsettling. One that leaves you emotionally drained, and knocks you off balance. The haunting images it instills in your mind will stay with you for a few days, maybe more. It'll take another good book to erase them, or maybe a good movie...
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah captures a story of World War II and the French resistance - the very different but equally important roles of two sisters. The book is readable as are most of Kristin Hannah's books. The characters are sympathetic as are most of her characters. The story depicts an...
I loved this book!! I had read a few by Kristin Hannah over the years, but I really think this was my favorite. I really felt for these characters. Being American, I could not imagine the atrocities that those people had to go through. Hannah made it so real for me. Not only is war going on all arou...
