Publisher's Summary
Two sisters. One must be brave. One should be afraid. Bravery, courage, fear, and love in a time of war. Despite their differences sisters Viann and Isabelle have always been close.
Younger, bolder Isabelle lives in Paris while Viann is content with life in the French countryside with her husband, Antoine, and their daughter. But when the Second World War strikes, Antoine is sent off to fight, and Viann finds herself isolated, so Isabelle is sent by their father to help her.
As the war progresses, the sisters' relationship and strength are tested. With life changing in unbelievably horrific ways, Viann and Isabelle will find themselves facing frightening situations and responding in ways they never thought possible as bravery and resistance take different forms in each of their actions.
Vivid and exquisite in its illumination of a time and place that was filled with atrocities but also humanity and strength, Kristin Hannah's novel will provoke thought and discussion that will have readers talking long after they finish listening.

Amazingly story of love and war..
Narrator has made it so much effort with voice variations I almost felt everything..the worst, the disgust, the sadness, the happiness and the losses all was felt..I have cried hysterically through this story..wars don't see genders or your young or old or your pregnant or you carry a new born..over millions of Jews dead...the story tells about how you heal through brokenness which is beyond repair..so something you have suffered need to be forgotten as if nothing happened yet at end all secrets all suffering (suffering is underrated word) reveal themselves and you see that love lasts..

Magnificent story - utterly moving.
Whoa. This book is absolutely riveting, with excellent writing and simply phenomenal characters. The story alone is a must-read for its poignant, powerful WW2 narrative of the shadow war. The narration could have been better because the narrator can’t embody many voices, But it’s doable. Overall, simply excellent.

Wounds heal, Love lasts, We remain.
One of the most humane novel's on war and life in war as well as life after a war. It's harrowing to listen to such a brilliant story set under a nazi setup. Polly Stone has done a great job reading this book for us. Her voice as well as her way of reading gives a very satisfying and enjoyable listening. Kristin Hannah has built in intricate characters who tell their own stories of struggle while a war is being waged by Nazis. My most favourite characters are sisters Isabelle and Vianne Rossignol.

Fantastic
I can feel so many emotions altogether. It's a masterpiece I would say. The life of two sisters, thier struggle during the world war 2 and how they endured everything to get through. A mind blowing story of bravery, love, sacrifice and loss that transports you to the war time. Such clear writing and impeccable performance by Polly stone. A perfect historical war fiction.

A story that touches your heart
The Nightingale is a must read.
The vivid description of the time during the World War will definitely make you ponder that how we should be thankful for good things in life. Life is more than finding faults, it's more of how much for giving. you are and how much giving you are as a person. This is my fourth book of Kristen Hannah and I am sure again I will get hooked to another book of hers. 😍
