An Incredible Book by an Incredible Writer

I have read a lot of WWII novels. Sometimes I have to take a break because they leave me sad to think of all the horror that happens in wars. This book was hard to read but it made me think that all the problems I have are nothing. Nada. I would have never been as brave as Isabelle or Vianne, or so many of the characters in the book. Also, I think it's important that we never forget those times of war, every one of them... the Holocaust, the Vietnam war (Hannah's book THE WOMEN is another great book!), etc.

An Honest Review…

“The Nightingale" is a captivating and beautifully crafted story that takes you deep into the lives of two sisters during World War II in France. Kristin Hannah does a fantastic job of bringing the historical setting to life, making you feel the tension and the emotional weight of the characters' experiences. The bond between the sisters is at the heart of the novel, and their different approaches to survival and resistance are both compelling and thought-provoking. The writing is vivid and evocative, drawing you in and making you care about what happens to them. While there are moments that might feel a bit slow, the overall journey is incredibly rewarding. It's a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Definitely a must-read for anyone who loves historical fiction! Four stars for this emotional rollercoaster!

A Powerful and Unforgettable Read

The Nightingale is my first 6-star read of 2025, and I can’t stop thinking about it. I was hesitant at first—historical fiction can be hit or miss for me—but this one completely exceeded my expectations. It starts off a bit slow, taking time to build the characters, the atmosphere, and the historical context. But once the story picks up, it doesn’t let go. By the end, I was sobbing, emotionally wrecked in the best way. This book isn’t just a story—it’s an experience. Weeks later, it’s still on my mind. Absolutely worth the read.

Excellent.

This book is incredible. I sobbed. I questioned myself: what would I have done. I felt everything. When I was done reading it, all I wanted to do was open it back up to page one. Absolutely incredible.

The Nightingale

Powerful, gripping, and insightful. I cannot imagine living through such a time in history. The emotional turmoil this book had me in, but that is Kristin Hannah for you. Even though it is a work of fiction there are very true elements and the realization that life was once like that for people is difficult to think about. The courageous and fearless characters in the story are just heroic. I really enjoyed this book and frankly all of Kristin’s works I have read thus far.
