Review of 'The Nightingale' on 'Goodreads'

This novel had been awaiting my attention just long enough that I'd forgotten all that I'd heard about it. It took me by surprise in many ways. So many different stories came out of WWII, but not many of them focus on heroes who happened to be women. At a certain point in this story, I thought I knew how things would end, basically. Nope...touching, haunting, sad, redeeming, AND surprising.

I'd recommend Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale to anyone.
