The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

Kristin Hannah book makes for a great read anywhere and everywhere you go. I just finished The Nightingale, her epic novel of World War II France. (Big thanks to dear friend Marisa for the rec!) What an epic, terrible, beautiful novel that captures the breadth and depth of the human spirit. I cried quietly as I read in bed, and the novel has stuck with me since. I can imagine that writing this for the author was challenging, and exhausting; it's not everyday you are writing or reading about concentration camps. Despite its grim setting, I found some profound and beautiful work in the book: "Love has to be stronger than hate, or there is no future for us." Truth indeed. You'll fly through the 560+ pages of the novel and wish there was more. 5 out of 5 bocks! 🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
