Her home commandeered by a German captain, Vianne faces a series of harrowing choices to protect her family and her dignity in a world where the line between friend and foe blurs with every passing day. Meanwhile, Isabelle, impulsive and rebellious, seeks purpose and passion in a Paris altered by war. Her encounter with Gaëtan, a fervent believer in France's ability to resist from within, ignites in her a fiery determination to fight back. Betrayed and alone, she joins the Resistance, embarking on a dangerous journey that will test her spirit and courage in ways she never imagined. Kristin Hannah masterfully weaves a tale of the bonds of sisterhood and the indomitable spirit of women facing the unthinkable, making "The Nightingale" a poignant and unforgettable exploration of the human heart amidst the horrors of war.
