Soon to be a major motion picture, The
Nightingale has captured the hearts of millions of readers becoming a
number one bestseller across the world. It is a heart-breakingly beautiful
novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the endurance of
women.
''I always thought it was what I wanted: to be loved and
admired. Now I think perhaps I’d like to be known''
This story is about what it was like to be a woman during World War II, when
women’s stories were all too often forgotten or overlooked . . . Vianne and
Isabelle Mauriac are two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals
and passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path towards
survival, love and freedom in war-torn France.
It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.
