The Nightingale: by Kristin Hannah

The Nightingale: by Kristin Hannah | Summary & Analysis 

This is a Summary & Analysis of The Nightingale. New York Times Best Selling Author Kristin Hannah exposes in The Nightingale the horrors of World War II in France. She uses the small town of Carriveau as a main setting that dramatically contrasts with the evil that is about to come to a country that has surrendered to the Nazis, and is now being occupied. The novel also develops the story of two courageous sisters who, ironically, get to come together to join forces in a time when hope, faith, and unity are lost. 

It is 1939 France. While the city of Paris takes in most of the heat, the quiet village of Carriveau is on the brink of changing forever. The once peaceful and bucolic town has turned into a horrific show of airplanes, war tanks, bombs, and the scary sight of Nazis from the SS, the Gestapo and the regular Wehrmacht all over. Vianne Mauriac, the young wife of a recently drafted soldier, is obligated to host a Nazi. Her sister the impetuous Isabelle, chooses the dangerous path of joining the French Resistance and risking everything in the process, in The Nightingale.
