Love the character. Molly is so refreshingly unpretentious. Story line could have been stronger but certainly enjoyable. Narrator is excellent. Looking forward to the next adventure with Molly.

Too long
Reviewed: 10-16-23
I had the audio book version and it could have been 4 hours shorter. It seemed to drag on forever. Didn’t like the narrator as her voice didn’t change to accommodate the various characters. Characters were all likable so that’s a plus.

Have listened to many of Kristen Hannah’s audiobooks. This was my least favorite. The main character wasn’t likable. Kept secrets that almost ruined two lives.

Story
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.

And the person who knows what happened to her. Samantha has had a long time to remember, and to regret. Having seen how little her daughter mattered to the community in the months following her disappearance, she wonders if Edie was lost before she was even gone.

The instant New York Times best-selling memoir from the outspoken former governor - an "explosive" (Guardian) "must read" (Hugh Hewitt) account of Chris Christie's life in politics including his "not to miss" (Entertainment Weekly) insights into Donald Trump. In Let Me Finish, Christie sets the record straight about his tenure as a corruption-fighting prosecutor and a Republican running a Democratic state, as well as what really happened on the 2016 campaign trail and inside Trump Tower.

Enjoyed hearing Gov. Christie narrate his book. A profound look into the working of the Trump Administration. Christie would have been a great asset as AG, unfortunately, Trump didn't take advantage of the opportunity. I don't think we've heard the last of Christie in the national arena.
