THE A5 BOOK REVIEWThe Nightingale is the fictional story of two French sisters trying to survive as their world collapses with the Nazi invasion in France during World War II. The older sister Vianne is devastated when her husband heads out to fight the Germans, but she doesn’t believe that she and her daughter will be in danger. But the Nazis do invade, not only occupying their town but also requisitioning her home, pushing her farther and farther to desperately find ways to keep her family safe. Isabelle is a defiant eighteen-year-old who rebels against the war from the beginning, ultimately risking her life to join the Resistance and falling deeply in love. Best-selling author Kristin Hannah’s beautifully crafted novel is an exquisite portrayal of a horrifying time in history, with a stirring and emotional narrative that both captures the heart-breaking atrocities of war and the resilience of the human spirit.

There were no parades for us when it was over, no medals or mentions in history books. We did what we had to during the war, and when it was over, we picked up the pieces and started our lives over.”
