While reading The Nightingale I felt like I developed a close understanding of how difficult life was for the two sisters who were living in France during WW2. The courage and will to go on even through the most traumatic circumstances, was an amazing story that brought an understanding to a time that was long ago and an important part of what our world has become because of brave people like them. I never knew how difficult life was for the people of France when Germany took over their country. I felt the emotions and feelings of their hardships and heroism. The book also flashes back and forth from the 1940's to 1995 and you are kept wondering what the outcome of the book will be. In the end I shed some tears for the heartfelt closing of this story. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys being transported back in time.
I was given a copy of this book free from SheSpeaks, but I that doesn't change my opinion of the story. SheSpeaks is a site that sends free products and sometimes books to read at no cost. They frequently have contests and surveys, but the free products come when they offer you a chance to try and review a free product. I have been a member for many years and the freebies are not every month, but the things they have sent me have been enjoyable and worth while. In return for this free book, I agreed to review it after I read it.
