This novel tells the story of two sisters, Vianne and Isabelle Mauriac, whose lives take very different paths in war-torn France.

Separated by age, experience, ideals, and circumstance, each woman faces extraordinary challenges as she navigates love, loss, sacrifice, and the struggle for freedom during one of history's darkest periods.

Through its moving portrayal of family bonds and human endurance, The Nightingale shines a light on the experiences of women whose stories were too often overlooked.
