Mr. McCane
I can’t count how many movies I’ve watched or books I’ve read about World War II. Adolf Hitler was a horrible person, and unfortunately, because of that, we have an unlimited amount of horror stories about death and survival. What I haven’t seen before is a perspective from France or one told through the eyes of women. Welp, that was until I read The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.
In this book, we follow two sisters who take very different paths to survival. These are awful times, so the author includes some truly graphic and disturbing scenes, so check your triggers.
This book really takes you on an emotional roller coaster. I loved and hated the main characters at different points. There’s also a love story mixed in and a really satisfying ending. I waited until Women’s History Month to read this one, and these two ladies kicked ass.
I know there are mixed reviews on this one, and I understand both sides. I’ve read that it isn’t historically accurate and that there are plot holes. However, as someone who isn’t from France, I still enjoyed it.
