Kristin Hannah: The Nightingale. Printed book.

The #1 global bestseller of 2015-2016.
France, 1939. In the quiet, sleepy village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, who is leaving to fight the Germans. She does not believe the Nazis will invade France... But soon they are marching past her house; lines of tanks rumble by, and the sky is barely visible behind planes dropping bombs. The war has come to the quiet French countryside. Vianne is faced with a choice: either billet a German officer or lose everything, possibly even her life.
Isabelle Mauriac, a rebellious and headstrong eighteen-year-old girl, is determined to fight the invaders. Reckless and daring, she is ready for anything, but her father forces her to go to her older sister's village. Caught with other refugees in a German bombing raid, Isabelle meets Gaëtan amidst the chaos and death and falls in love as recklessly as she does everything else in life. Thus begins her journey into the Resistance. She does not look back and does not regret her actions, risking her life again and again to save people. Each of the two sisters, so different in character and fate, fights her own war.
"The Nightingale" is an epic novel about war, sacrifice, suffering, and great love. A heartbreakingly beautiful novel that has become a true anthem to female courage and strength of spirit. A novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.
