The Nightingale

Two strong women, sisters with very different personalities and different approaches to survival during war. Although there were some parts of the book that were not plausable; the story is one that is easy to read and emotionally satisfying. I loved reading about the bravery of women and the contribution they made to the cause. The husbands may have been fighting the Germans in battle- but at home, the women and resistance fighters endured much hardship. They were brutalized, yet persevered. They lived with the enemy yet remained brave.
