The nightingale

A Reese's Book Club Pick, a #1 New York Times bestseller, a Wall Street Journal Best Book of the Year, and soon to be adapted into a blockbuster film, this unforgettable novel about love and strength in the face of war has captivated a generation. With courage, grace, and piercing insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic landscape of World War II and illuminates a rarely seen, intimate side of history: women's warfare. *The Nightingale* tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experiences, ideals, passions, and circumstances, as each navigates her own perilous path to survival, love, and freedom in war-torn, German-occupied France. It is a heartbreakingly beautiful celebration of the resilience of the human spirit and the resilience of women. It is a book for everyone, a book for a lifetime. Best Historical Novel of the Year on Goodreads, Audience Favorite, Winner of Best Independent Fiction of the Year, BuzzFeed and The Week Best Book of the Year.
