Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale follows two sisters in occupied France during World War II, each finding different ways to survive and resist. The novel is emotionally devastating in the best possible way, anchored by two protagonists who feel distinct and fully realized. It takes the well-worn subject of wartime Europe and makes it feel urgent again through the specificity of its characters and the relentless momentum of its plot. Some readers find it melodramatic in stretches, but even those critics tend to admit it moved them.
