Texas, 1921. A time of abundance. The Great War is over, the bounty of the land is plentiful, and America is on the brink of a new and optimistic era. But for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli. By 1934, the world has changed; millions are out of work and drought has devastated the Great Plains. Elsa must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west, to California, in search of a better life for her family.

The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France—a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

Poignant and heart stirring.
A quiet look into thoughts of love, loss and regret and what matters most in the end.

Rushed Narration
I enjoyed the story, writing and imagery. However, the narration sounded hurried and wasn’t relaxing.

Not for me.
I couldn’t even finish the book. The narrator is terrible. She reads like an elementary school student. Very disappointing.

Not the best narrator
This is the first time I found a narrator to be difficult to listen to. I will avoid a book if I notice her name in the future

Not my favorite
I love Kristin Hannah but this one wasn’t my favorite. Slow moving but nice story. The narrator was difficult to listen to the whole way through.
