The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
Life is good for Vianne Mauriac, who lives in the quiet village of Carriveau with her husband and young daughter. Her troubled past is behind her and she is living an idyllic life with her family until her husband is drafted and sent to fight the German's on the front line.
In the beginning, things went on much the same but then rations were implemented and the Nazis began to invade their little village and homes with caravans of trucks and soldiers and planes that fill the sky with bombs
Hannah tells a story of war from the perspective of the women who were left behind to defend their families and their homes. This is a compelling story that brings the harsh reality of war to light in heartbreaking tale of women who lost so much and had to continue to fight for those they loved and the things they believed in.
