One of the Best Books of the Year
Having taken extra time to do an excellent job, we readers are especially happy that this wonderful book has been WELL WORTH THE WAIT. I felt this books spoke to me and opened me up to the world of WWII and the women who lived through it. Please read this book YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID.

Dare to Do
The Nightingale is the most powerful novel I believe I have ever read. The characters came to life before me. Courage, determination for what is right, and a hope for tomorrow made this a favorite book.

Excellent book
If you love history (WW2) and fiction this book is for you. This books describes how war can tear apart families but ultimately love wins. You will cry tears of sadness and joy. I could not put the book down.

Outstanding
This story puts the reader in the middle of events as they happen. This is real story telling, effective when reflecting actual history and experiences. The depth and breath of the emotional relationships of the characters is nothing less than phenomenal. making the reader not only an eye witness but also feeling what the characters are feeling. I could not put this book down and reads at bedtime until my eyes crossed. Having lived through WWII and having visited France made this story all the more relative. What a read!

The Nightingale
Riveting, well researched, illuminating on the topic of the Holocaust atrocities. I agree with another reviewer. I felt an empty spot in the story on how V ended up in America, and Antoine just dropped off the radar. Great, great book. Human depravity at its worst.

Great book
I describe this as a great book and I really did like it, but I thought it dragged in parts. The dialog was well written and the French terms and words were translated well, though I do speak French. Very apt descriptions of wartime Europe.

Great - Loved it
Kristin Hannah is great at writing this kind of book. She is a great writer and storyteller. This book is set in the WWII era in France. It's about the hardships, terror, brutality of the period, but also the bravery, kindness and humanity. I couldn't put it down, and you won't be able to either. The story stayed with me long after finishing and I still would like to go back and be with the characters again.
