I am going to share with you a novel that is a classic novel like the ones in the image, but one that, I believe, will be a classic one day. Kristin Hannah has written 'The Nightingale'. It is a novel that will bring you tears, smiles, tears and smiles again with how the story progresses. This is the story of Vianne and Isabelle two sisters of World War II and how they survived. Vianne and Isabelle see the war in two different ways: one as a mother and the other as a person seeking adventure and seeking retribution. There is a line in the story that works even today with all the wars and battles that have occurred over the years: "We men are perhaps too quick to reach for our guns." Men back then should have listened to the women of the war, but did we?

This is a novel that shows and tells all about how war can divide and yet keep families and friends together in spirit. It shows Isabelle's journey in a picturesque manner as well as Vianne's. The reader will see both women's world.
