- I cannot say enough about this book. It is set during the time of world war II. during the occupation of France. Nothing I will say here will do it Justice. The story features two sisters who appear to be very different and we follow them as the war begins and through to the end of the war and beyond. I know what you are thinking. We do not need another WWII saga... I put off starting it even though it was highly recommended just because of that very reason. Don't do that! If you have not read The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, please do! The end blew me away
I am not sure how to approach this, except to say that I was living in the moment with these characters. It was as a participant that I went through each day with them and when I got to the end of the story I was unable to just close the book, or turn off the kindle, as it were...I had trouble falling asleep last night as I could not leave their world and still this morning...I am finding it hard to move on.
Kristin Hannah built a world as I feel it must have been for so many at that time. She pulled no punches and spared none. There were poignant times, sad times, hard and nasty times, and just a few happy times...but over all a beautiful book.
I have to give this one a ...
