The Nightingale

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I was afraid to read this book. I am extra sensitive to the atrocities and cruelty during what I consider to be one of the darkest times in world history- World War II. And though this book does have a lot of the dark in it, it also has light. We get to know some special women, who rise above their fear and make choices to help others and relieve human suffering. It has been about a month since I finished the book, and that is what I mostly remember about it: lessons of courage, love, and choosing good. It has caused me to analyze myself and wonder how I would react in similar circumstances. I hope I never know.
