The Nightingale

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, 440 pages.

Vianne and Isabelle Mauriac lost their mother in 1924, and when she was gone their world fell apart. By 1939, when the novel begins, Vianne is married and now has an eight-year-old daughter. Vianne and Isabelle, now 18, have never been able to reconcile themselves to their loss nor to their father's rejection of them, and the subsequent splintering of their own relationship.
As the war begins and the German army comes, the sisters must decide where their loyalties lie, with whom they must keep faith, and must continually decide what they are willing to do in order to survive and protect what they hold dear.
Fans of All the Light We Cannot See and fans of well-written historical fiction will certainly enjoy this.
