The Nightingale: A Novel

Powerful, gripping, and insightful. I cannot imagine living through such a time in history. The emotional turmoil this book had me in, but that is Kristin Hannah for you. Even though it is a work of fiction there are very true elements and the realization that life was once like that for people is difficult to think about. The courageous and fearless characters in the story are just heroic. I really enjoyed this book and frankly all of Kristin’s works I have read thus far.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I was swept into it from the first page and found it hard to set the book down to eat or use the bathroom. It is that great of an emotionally well written story. I found that I could relate on a level with the sisters, Vianne and Isabelle and their relationship because I have a sister. I found myself asking what would I do in their shoes and I am kind of glad that I do not need to find out. Grab a copy and read this story for yourself, you won't be disappointed. Just make sure you have a kleenex on hand to capture that tear or two that escapes. I received this book for free from SheSpeaks and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
