A master storyteller, Kristin Hannah tugs at the heart strings and twists the sinews of our emotions as the sisters, Vianne and Isabelle, defy the Nazis during their occupation of France. The Nightingale is not a story of defeat but a story of transcendence. Personifying the women of the Resistance, Vianne and Isabelle open our eyes to the sacrifices made for survival. Left behind by the men who fought for freedom, these sisters take two different paths but learn: “In love we find out what we want to be; in war we find out who we are.” Hannah‘s control of detail and emotive language enables us to empathize with Isabella and Vianne as they struggle to survive the atrocities of WWII. |
