The Nightingale

This is my second time reading The Nightingale. Kristin Hannah has done a remarkable job researching and turning her work into to a creative novel of true life events. As I read this book, I felt like a character in the story with each word, page, chapter, to the books end. I felt as if I had been transformed into another person in another time living a different life. I lived the horrors and felt the loss as much as one can without physically being there. I was proud of each person who lived and died at the hands of people without humanity. The horrors and ugliness of that era should never be repeated. However, in this time of upheaval and disorder in the USA during the change in our government, has given many people great concern. Our new “leadership” behaves like an ineffective autocratic leader. This I base on his admitted lies to the people, a self proclaimed womanizer, racist, felon, with terrible personal financial management and more. He is showing many traits that were evident with Hitler. I hope that the true horrors written about in the novel, The Nightingale, are not repeated.

I absolutely loved this book. I could not put it down and I ugly tried like 4 separate times! I wish I could start all over and read it for the first time again

This ruined my life. I have been forever changed. In a negative way. Best book I’ve ever read.

this book only took so long to finish because of the breaks i had to take to breathe & to cry. i’m broken. this read was both heart wrenching & so incredibly beautiful all at once.

This book was thrilling, sad, unexpected, and heartwarming. Definitely will be reading more books by this author.

I loved every page.

One of the best books I have ever read about this time period. As a mom, I can’t imagine.. But protecting my kids at all cost I can imagine would be the easiest decision I’ll ever make in life.

Hard to put this story down. Hannah did it again, another encapsulation of a family’s life, and their desire to make a positive difference, during one of our history’s most horrific tragedies. Amazingly well told and will be thinking about this story for a long time to come.

Fantastic book! Beautiful story of heroism and love. Highly recommended!

Amazing must read
