Review of The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

Review by Michele Marion

 

I picked this book because it was on Amazon’s 2015 Best Books of the Year and it received great reviews on Audible (which is how I “read” my books nowadays). This book is set in Nazi occupied France during World War II and follows the lives of two sisters, Vianne and Isabelle as they try to survive the occupation.  The entire book club loved this book, it is an excellent story of hardship, heartbreak and triumph.  The characters are complex and the storyline makes you want to keep reading.  It was an emotional read, knowing the time and place where the story takes place, but worth the “book hangover” that comes with it.
