Read this because I watched the movie on Prime
Reviewed: 05-08-24
I read the book and loved it. The details were different than the Movie but it didn’t overwhelm my love for the movie. I definitely loved the ending of the Screenplay better, but the book made sense. I think I read to go above and beyond beyond reality and the ending for me was just average.

I knew it would be a well written story. But the content ripped me from the inside out. Married for 33 years and thankful for every part of our journey, I mourned and rejoiced all at once in this beautiful story. Well done Mrs. Alexander! Well Done!

I felt melancholy through most of the book, I loved that the author addressed the fear of aging, the fear of finding love again and the fear of change.

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.

Story
Grace Bradshaw knows the exact minute she will die. On death row for murdering her infant son, her last breath will be taken on February 15 at 12:01 a.m. Eleven years, five months, and 27 days separate her from the last time she heard her precious daughter's voice and the final moment she'd heard anyone call her mom. Out of appeals, she can focus on only one thing - reconnecting with her daughter and making sure she knows the truth.
