About this listen
The Bestselling Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick
'One of the greatest storytellers of our time' - Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing
Soon to be a major motion picture, Kristin Hannah's 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.
‘A rich, compelling novel of love, sacrifice and survival’ – Kate Morton, author of Homecoming
‘Movingly written and plotted with the heartless skill of a Greek tragedy, you’ll keep turning the pages until the last racking sob’ – Daily Mail
‘I loved The Nightingale . . . great characters, great plots, great emotions, who could ask for more in a novel?’ – Isabel Allende, bestselling author of The House of the Spirits
‘A griping tale of family, love, grief and forgiveness’ – Sunday Express
The Nightingale has sold more than 4 million copies globally, TIME, February 2021
The writing led me into a deep understanding of the characters.
Honestly the perfect book for me.
Heartbreaking but addictive

At first, I was irritated by the American narrator, I thought this was a mistake (and perhaps still do?), it presented a disconnect with all of the characters early years in France. I began to ignore it as I became more intrigued by the story.
It might be better with two narrators one French and one American.
Excellent Story

The story of two very different sisters and the lives they lead throughout the war, both depicting their characters individually , however eternally entwined by family bonds .
I felt I lived through their experiences with them, superbly written, a book that will stay with me & one I feel I learnt a lot from .
Simply Brilliant !
