What more could one ask for in a novel?' - Isabel Allende A shocking novel, a hymn to the endurance of the human soul and the power of women. France, 1939. In the village of Carivo, Vian says goodbye to her husband Antoine, who is leaving for the front. The Germans invade with hordes of soldiers, tanks and planes, darkening the sky and bombing innocents. When her home is commandeered, she and her daughter are forced to live under the same roof as the enemy. Without food, money or hope, Vian is forced to make one tough decision after another to ensure her family's survival. Her 18-year-old sister, Isabelle, meets a charming partisan and falls in love with him as only teenagers can - absolutely. When he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance without a second thought. The Nightingale is the story of two sisters separated by age, experiences, ideals, passions and circumstances, each following their own perilous path to survival, love and freedom. With courage, charming writing, and penetrating insight, widely read author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of World War II and shines a light on a rarely seen part of history: the women's war.
