With courage, grace, and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of World War II 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.

Good thrill, but no game changer
Revisado: 08-13-16
Don't get me wrong, this is fun 10 hours ahead of you. Thrilling, exciting, and plot twisting the story will keep you a awake. In addition the whole 'milti-verse' narrative will get you thinking in new directions and scrambling to address search some other particle physics terminology into Wikipedia. However, the main character is all together too overbearing, and the reader only makes worse of this with his deep, angry, serious voice. While the surprises will make your heart skip a beat or two, they will leave you unsatisfied in the end.

Paris in 1895: Alfred Dreyfus, a young Jewish officer, has just been convicted of treason, sentenced to life imprisonment at Devil's Island, and stripped of his rank in front of a baying crowd of 20,000. Among the witnesses to his humiliation is Georges Picquart, the ambitious, intellectual, recently promoted head of the counterespionage agency that Dreyfus had passed secrets to the Germans. At first, Picquart firmly believes in Dreyfus' guilt. But it is not long after Dreyfus is delivered to his desolate prison that Picquart stumbles on information that leads him to suspect that there is still a spy at large in the French military.

Outstanding performance

I know almost nothing about the Dreyfus Affair before listening. Now, not only am I a self proclaimed expert on the that piece of France's history, but also the story rocked me emotionally. I remember at one point throwing my arms in the air and yelling "yes" as I listened to this book.
