Literature which contains the themes of the war is very complicated. It is hard to please almost every reader in this regard, because one must be very sensitive and cautious with the theme of the war without delving into a love story, which is deprived of any meaning. However, Kristin Hannah impresses with her novel The Nightingale. Still, the theme of love is at the foreground, and here the love line is fully revealed and all actions are devoted to history. In fact, the book is creepy due to its plausibility. And even worse, such a difficult life really was during the war. Everyone tried to live as he could. There were good and evil people, and this could not be avoided.
The actions of this book take place during the Second World War. The author tells us about the war in France, where two sisters are fighting for the best life.
Love shows us as we want to be, and the war shows us what we are. This book is about two sisters, who, in truth, are almost completely different. Like all young people, they are selfish, but in principle they are differentiated by the fact that one of them is a fighter and the other is a mother. This is their calling and the answer to the first question. It is just that each of them has its own war. Vianne fights for the future of her children, frantically clinging to a brittle hope. Isabelle is impulsive in her struggle for free France. She is strong in body and spirit, sometimes rude, but this is only a protective mechanism. She is only an adult child and falls in love for the first time. And she is also afraid, like her sister.
The author has a very great idea to show that there can be good people among the enemies, and lovely people can be more cruel than the most dangerous beast. The contrasts between people of the same society are well described. The book is easily and quickly read, the author shows all the possible events, reactions, loss and victory that occurred in the war. In addition to the exciting historical background, Kristin Hannah masterfully reveals the theme of family relations.
This book is about war and life, about love and faithfulness, about the meaning of life and the goalб about women's power and unlimited desire to live and love. The book is more about love than about war, and it disappoints. Naturally, there is tension, uncertainty, cruelty and other horrors of the military actions, but here is more manifestation of love to children, to husband, to relatives, to friends and to the Motherland.
