The Nightingale is so universally beloved for very good reason. What happens as this novel progresses will touch your heart and shock your conscience with the horrors of war, as you turn the pages. Meanwhile, Vianne’s sister, Isabelle, a rebel and spitfire, meets and quickly falls in love with the partisan Gaetan. But after Gaetan betrays her, she joins the underground resistance and must also continually face dangerous decisions. Surprisingly, the Nazis invade France, and a Nazi soldier shelters in Vianne’s home, putting her life at constant risk, as life’s necessities dwindle. First, in a quaint town, teacher Vianne and her daughter Sophie bid farewell to their husband and father, Mauriac, as he goes off to battle. The Nightingale is the gripping and unforgettable story of two adult sisters during World War II in France.
