In love we find out who we want to be.
In war we find out who we are.
FRANCE, 1939
In
the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her
husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesnβt believe that
the Nazis will invade France...but invade they do, in droves of marching
soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the
skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When France is overrun, Vianne
is forced to take an enemy into her house, and suddenly her every move
is watched; her life and her childβs life is at constant risk. Without
food or money or hope, as danger escalates around her, she must make one
terrible choice after another.
Vianneβs sister, Isabelle, is a
rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the
reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the
unknown terrors of war, she meets the compelling and mysterious GΓ€etan, a
partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within
France, and she falls in love as only the young can...completely. When
he betrays her, Isabelle races headlong into danger and joins the
Resistance, never looking back or giving a thought to the real--and
deadly--consequences.
With courage, grace and powerful insight,
bestselling author Kristin Hannah takes her talented pen to the epic
panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom
seen: the womenβs war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two
sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and
circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival,
love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France--a heartbreakingly
beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and
the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a
lifetime.
