Description

The bestselling Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick

Soon to be a major motion picture, The Nightingale is a multi-million copy bestseller across the world. It is a heart-breakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the endurance of women.

This story is about what it was like to be a woman during World War II when women's stories were all too often forgotten or overlooked . . . Vianne and Isabelle Mauriac are two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals and passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path towards survival, love and freedom in war-torn France.

Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

'A rich, compelling novel of love, sacrifice and survival' - Kate Morton

'Movingly written and plotted with the heartless skill of a Greek tragedy, you'll keep turning the pages until the last racking sob' - Daily Mail

'I loved The Nightingale . . . great characters, great plots, great emotions, who could ask for more in a novel?' - Isabel Allende, author of The House of the Spirits

'A gripping tale of family, love, grief and forgiveness' - Sunday Express

Review quote

I loved The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, a talented writer of American stories; great characters, great plots, great emotions, who could ask for more in a novel? -- Isabel Allende, bestselling author of The House of the Spirits Beautifully written . . . packed with action and emotion. -- Sara Gruen, bestselling author of Water for Elephants The real horrors of war; the deprivations; the risks are all there... This is a hauntingly tragic yet sympathetic novel * The Cape Times * An unforgettable portrait of love and war. * People * The suspense builds slowly in this thought-provoking and absorbing novel. * Choice * The bestselling author hits her stride in this page-turning tale about two sisters, one in the French countryside, the other in Paris, who show remarkable courage in the German occupation during WWII . . . The author ably depicts war's horrors through the eyes of these two women, whose strength of character shines through no matter their differences. * Publishers Weekly * A respectful and absorbing page-turner. * Kirkus Reviews *
