Two sisters. One must be brave. One should be afraid.
The Nightingale - The 10th Anniversary Special Edition and a Bestselling Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick.
'One of the greatest storytellers of our time' - Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing
Soon to be a major motion picture, The Nightingale has captured the hearts of millions of readers, becoming a number one bestseller across the world. It is a heart-breakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the endurance of women.
'I always thought it was what I wanted: to be loved and admired. Now I think perhaps I'd like to be known'
This story is about what it was like to be a woman during World War II, when women's stories were all too often forgotten or overlooked. Vianne and Isabelle Mauriac are two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals and passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path towards survival, love, and freedom in war-torn France.
It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

'I loved The Nightingale... great characters, great plots, great emotions, who could ask for more in a novel?' - Isabel Allende, bestselling author of The House of the Spirits
'A gripping tale of family, love, grief and forgiveness' - Sunday Express

The Nightingale is the winner of numerous best fiction awards and is soon to become a major movie, and Kristin's much-loved earlier novel, Firefly Lane, was a number one blockbuster series on Netflix. Her writing has taken readers across multiple eras and to many places, but the thing that connects all of her work is the focus on what it's like being a woman in challenging times.
