The Nightingale |
WW II - Paris has fallen, France has surrendered, the whole country is now occupied. Two sisters, one headstrong Isabelle and the other down-to-earth Viane are both drawn into the Resistance movement. The one guiding downed British airman over the Pyrenees, the other hiding Jewish children from deportation into the Nazi death camps. Based in part on the true-life story of The Comet Line, a route organised by a young Belgian woman - Andrée de Jongh, this is a truly unputdownable read.
