The Nightingale
by Kristin Hannah
In love we find out who we
want to be. In war we find out who we are.
FRANCE, 1939
The Nightingale tells the
stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion
and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival,
love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France--a heartbreakingly
beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the
durability of women.
