The Nightingale.
Two sisters. One must be brave. One should be afraid. Bravery, courage, fear and love in a time of war. Despite their differences, sisters Viann and Isabelle have always been close. Younger, bolder Isabelle lives in Paris while Viann is content with life in the French countryside with her husband Antoine and their daughter. But when the Second World War strikes, Antoine is sent off to fight and Viann finds herself isolated so Isabelle is sent by their father to help her.
As the war progresses, the sisters relationship and strength is tested. With life changing in unbelievably horrific ways, Viann and Isabelle will find themselves facing frightening situations and responding in ways they never thought possible as bravery and resistance take different forms in each of their actions.
Vivid and exquisite in its illumination of a time and place that was filled with atrocities, but also humanity and strength, Kristin Hannahs novel will provoke thought and discussion that will have readers talking long after they finish reading.
Author writes: But when research on World War II led me to story of a young woman who had created an escape route out of Nazi-occupied France, I was hooked. Her story - one of heroism and danger and unbridled courage - became the starting point. That story led me to others that were equally fascinating. Stories about women who had saved Jewish children and rescued downed airmen and put themselves in harm's way to save others. Women who had paid terrible, unimaginable prices for their heroism.
When would I, as a wife and mother, risk my life - and most important, my child's life - to save a stranger? The question is at the very heart of The Nightingale. In love we find out who we want to be; in war we find out who we are? And sometimes, perhaps, we dont want to know what we would do to survive.
In war, womens stories are all too often forgotten or overlooked. This is a novel about those women and the daring, dangerous choices they made to save their children and their way of life.
