The Nightingale by Kristen Hannah


Wow! Author Hannah keeps you reading even though it’s another World War II resistance story. French sisters Isabelle and Vianne, two very different personalities, are at war with each other in childhood and adulthood, even when the Germans occupy their town and their home. Vianne believes the German propaganda, while sister Isabelle sees and resists the evil they bring. Readers will feel like they are in France alongside the sisters, experiencing all their trials and a final bittersweet triumph. A clever beginning and ending, that will bring good tears to your eyes!
