The Nightingale
by Kristin Hannah, Audible Audio Edition, narrated by Polly Stone, 2015, Macmillan Audio
This is the story of two sisters in occupied France during World War II and the two different paths they pursued to survive the Nazis. The one sister pursued active resistance while the other sister tried to comply with the demands of the occupiers.
The book paints interesting contrasts between the two sisters’ approaches and also links their differences to the personalities of the two sisters. The book also depicts the hardships of the occupation in stark terms.
I didn’t find the book to be all that compelling, probably because I have read so many similar accounts.
