The Nightingale Hannahov Kristin (2017)

The New York Times number-one bestselling novel explores bravery, courage, fear and love during wartime. Despite their differences, sisters Viann and Isabelle have always been close. Younger and bolder, Isabelle lives in Paris, while Viann is content with life in the French countryside with her husband Antoine and their daughter. When the Second World War begins, Antoine is sent to fight, and Viann finds herself isolated, so their father sends Isabelle to help her. As the war progresses, the sisters relationship and strength are tested. With life changing in unimaginably horrific ways, Viann and Isabelle face frightening situations and respond in ways they never thought possible, as bravery and resistance take different forms in their actions. Kristin Hannahs vivid portrayal of a time and place filled with atrocities, humanity and strength invites thought and discussion long after the book is finished.
