In love we find out who we want to be.In war we find out who we are.FRANCE, 1939In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesnt believe that the Nazis will invade France...but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Viannes home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.Viannes sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gaetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can...completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the womens 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.

Ehun metro nobela 1976an argitaratu zen, nahiz eta 1974rako amaituta egon. Franco diktadorea 1975ean hil zen, baina 1976an argia ikusi zuen nobelaren lehen edizioak ez zuen artean indarrean zegoen zentsura-legerik gainditu, eta, edizioa bahitu eta liburu-dendetatik erretiratzearekin batera, egilea bere ere prozesatu eta epaitua izan zen. Urte berean, ordea, zentsura-legea desagertzearekin batera, nobela liburu-dendetara itzuli zen.Behin eta berriz aipatu dira nobelaren arkitektura, kontakizunean erabilitako teknika, baliabide eta estrategia aberatsak. Eta hori guztia argumentu xume baten euskarri: poliziarengandik ihesi doan aktibista batek zerraldo erori bitartean egindako ehun metroren kontaketa. Metro horietan, polizien tiro eta jazarpenari ihesi, bere bizitzako pasadizo batzuk dakartza oroimenera protagonistak.Iheslariak berak aukeratutako taberna itxi bateko terrazan eserita dagoen lekuko anonimoarengana bideratzen ditu urratsak. Huraxe aukeratu du, gero eta barnerago susmatzen duen heriotzaren zafraldiekin batera, helduleku, eta sakrifizio erritual baten aurrean bageunde bezala, testigu harixe eskainiko dio bizitza ofrendan. Zergatik eta zertarako hil modu antzu horretan, dio ritornello gisa errepikatzen den kantak.Nobela hunkigarria gertatu zen argitaratu zenean, eta gaur egun ere berdin hunkitzen gaitu.
