About this ebook
This is a Summary of Kristin Hannah’s bestselling book, The Nightingale. It talks about the horrific effects of the Second World War in France. The story is set mainly in a small quiet town called Carriveau, in stark contrast to the catastrophe that is to be unleashed on a defeated country under Nazi occupation. The book also depicts the tale of two bold sisters who combine forces at a time when there is little hope or union. Full of action, drama, realistic events and a bold theme, The Nightingale is a powerful book with an accurate narrative.
The year is 1939, and the French have surrendered to the Nazis. Though Paris is a hotbed of activity, Carriveau is a serene town that is on the cusp of everlasting change. The town morphs into a war-zone overrun by planes, bombs, tanks, and Nazis (Wehrmacht, Gestapo and SS). As the war ravages on, Vianne Mauric, a soldier’s spouse, is forced to accommodate a Nazi in her house. Isabelle, her stubborn younger sister, decides to link up with the French Resistance.

The year is 1995, and an aging widow is reminded of an important period in her past. Her son questions her about an identification card of a woman called ‘Juliette Gervaise’ and she flashes back to France, 1939. The country is under German control, and while Paris is under tight grip, the serene Carriveau village is about to experience everlasting changes. The town morphs into a war-zone overrun by planes, bombs, tanks, and Nazis (from Wehrmacht, Gestapo to SS).
Vianne Mauriac’s husband, Antoine, is conscripted into the French Resistance to fight the Germans. She is strained emotionally as she is forced to house soldiers in her home, while also acting as a mother to children of people sent to torture camps. Isabelle, Vianne’s younger sibling, runs off to join the Resistance. At 18 years of age, she is endangering her life, emotions, and
