The Nightingale
Kristin Hannah
St. Martin's Press: 2015, 440 pages
Reviewed by Tori Lyons
Vianne and Isabelle's relationship has not been an easy one since their mother died when they were young girls and their father virtually abandoned them. When the Nazis invade France, Vianne's husband heads to fight the German forces while she tries to protect their daughter. The younger, rebellious Isabelle, on the other hand, views Vianne's behavior as complacency and leaves her sister's home to join the Resistance. Throughout the next few years, each sister faces hardships and horrors that would have been inconceivable before the war. The Nightingale is a heartbreaking story of the women of war-torn France.
