The Nightingale

Two sisters, one brutal war, and impossible choices. Being fearless, this one does not believe in emotional restraint. Vianne and Isabelle fight in very different ways as occupied France demands everything of them. It's sweeping, courageous, and fully capable of making you stare at the wall afterwards. A strong choice for readers who want memorable characters, layered relationships, and plenty to discuss after the last page.
