Soon to be a major motion picture, The Nightingale has captured the hearts of millions of readers becoming a number one bestseller across the world. It is a heart-breakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the endurance of women.
This story is about what it was like to be a woman during World War II when women’s stories were all too often forgotten or overlooked . . . Vianne and Isabelle Mauriac are two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals and passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path towards survival, love and freedom in war-torn France.
It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

Bravery, courage, fear and love in a time of war.
Despite their differences, sisters Viann and Isabelle have always been close. Younger, bolder Isabelle lives in Paris while Viann is content with life in the French countryside with her husband Antoine and their daughter. But when the Second World War strikes, Antoine is sent off to fight and Viann finds herself isolated so Isabelle is sent by their father to help her.
As the war progresses, the sisters' relationship and strength is tested. With life changing in unbelievably horrific ways, Viann and Isabelle will find themselves facing frightening situations and responding in ways they never thought possible as bravery and resistance take different forms in each of their actions.
Vivid and exquisite in its illumination of a time and place that was filled with atrocities, but also humanity and strength, Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale will provoke thought and discussion that will have readers talking long after they finish .

Она не верит, что нацисты вторгнутся во Францию… Но уже вскоре они маршируют мимо ее дома, грохочут вереницы танков, небо едва видать от самолетов, сбрасывающих бомбы.

Изабель Россиньоль, мятежная и своенравная восемнадцатилетняя девчонка, полна решимости бороться с захватчиками.

Франція охоплена вогнем Другої світової. Великі міста й маленькі селища окуповані нацистами, у небі – ворожі літаки, а навкруги – зневіра, смерть і страждання. В’янн Моріак – сільська вчителька, яка, провівши на війну свого чоловіка, змушена щодня докладати неймовірних зусиль, аби врятувати свою родину: виживати без їжі і грошей, ділити дах із ворогом і пережити нелюдські страждання.
Її вісімнадцятирічна сестра Ізабель приєднується до партизанського руху спротиву. Разом зі своїми однодумцями вона вірить, що Франція вистоїть і, рано чи пізно, ворог буде переможений. Поки тисячі французів, скорившись ворогові, намагаються пристосуватися до сумних обставин, тендітна дівчина, на яку полює Вермахт і СС, стає невловимим провідником, що рятує десятки військових пілотів, переправляючи їх таємним маршрутом через Піренеї.
В’янн та Ізабель дуже різні, і на цій війні – у кожної з них свій шлях і свій подвиг.

Prantsusmaa, 1939. Vaikses Carriveau linnakeses jätab Vianne hüvasti abikaasa Antoine'iga, kes läheb rindele. Vianne ei usu, et natsid võiksid Prantsusmaale tungida, ent peatselt näeb ta oma silmaga sõdurite kolonne, tankide ja veoautode karavane ja lennukeid, mis täidavad taeva ja heidavad pomme kuhu juhtub.
Kui Saksa kõrge sõjaväelane nõuab enda majutamist Vianne'i koju, peavad naine ja ta tütar valima, kas elada koos vaenlasega või kaotada kõik.
Oma pere elushoidmiseks on Vianne sunnitud tegema ühe esialgu võimatuna tunduva otsuse teise järel.
Vianne'i õde Isabelle on mässumeelne 18-aastane tütarlaps, kes elab oma elu hulljulge kirega. Sellal kui tuhanded pariislased marsivad sõtta, kohtab Isabelle partisan Gaëtani ja armub nii, nagu vaid noored seda suudavad – kogu ihu ja hingega.
Kui mees Isabelle'i ootamatult reedab, ühineb tüdruk vastupanuliikumisega ning riskib teisi aidates ikka ja jälle oma eluga.

FRANCE, 1939

In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesn’t believe that the Nazis will invade France…but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Vianne’s home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.

Vianne’s sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gäetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can…completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.

With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women’s war. 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.
