The Nightingale
Dublin Life October/November Book Club Selection
By Kristin Hannah
This novel set in World War II examines the role of women during the war, a part of history that’s so often overlooked. When Vianne Mauriac’s home is requisitioned by Nazi soldiers, she and her daughter must learn how to live with their enemy at the risk of losing everything.
The Nightingale also follows Vianne’s sister, Isabelle, an 18-year-old rebellious girl who joins the Rebellion, risking everything to help others, and falling in love in the process.
In 2015, The Nightingale spent 45 weeks on NPR’s Hardcover Fiction bestseller list and 20 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.
