Bestselling author Kristin Hannah vividly depicts the vast scope of World Struggle II while illuminating a personal aspect of history that is rarely seen: the women's war. The Nightingale is a heartbreakingly beautiful book that honors the tenacity of women and the resiliency of the human spirit. It tells the stories of two sisters who are separated by time, experience, ideals, passion, and circumstance, and who each set out on a perilous journey toward survival, love, and freedom in a war-torn, German-occupied France. It is a book for a lifetime and one for everyone.
