This week's book:
The Nightingale
By Kristin Hannah
Everyone and their dog has read this book. Every time someone asks for book suggestions, someone always says "have you tried The Nightingale?" True confession: I thought this book was the same book as The Goldfinch, which I have had a copy of for a few years and keep meaning to read, but still haven't. What can I say, both books are named after birds and are long... whatever, I'm tired.
Anyway, this month, in a reading challenge group I'm in, one of the prompts was read a book by Kristin Hannah, so I thought I'd try this one out. The book follows a pair of sisters in France during and after World War II. I'm going to be honest, it took me a very long time to get into the story, and if I hadn't been listening to it as an audiobook I might have never finished it. It's a very dense book that is really a epic storyline. That being said, I did enjoy the novel. I enjoyed the two sisters that were so strong and survived some very hard life challenges.
I normally don't love historical fiction but this one was interesting. I would recommend it if you want a sweeping epic read.
