The Nightingale<\/em> By Kristin Hannah<\/p>\n

Review by Maxine Bough<\/p>\n

Kristin Hannah\u2019s The Nightingale<\/em> is a historical fiction novel that follows the impossible choices two sisters make while navigating the struggles of Nazi-occupied France during World War II.\u00a0 Rather than focusing on the front lines, this novel tells the stories of the battles fought on the domestic front, those often overlooked in history.\u00a0 The Nightingale<\/em> departs from historical book stories of sabotage and armed combat and instead shows the part of the war won through civil resistance.\u00a0 The story also features perspectives not often present when it comes to discussing wartime resistance.\u00a0 By focusing the story on the home front, Hannah asserts that the French Resistance was more than military operations; it was also a gendered, domestic struggle that forced women to survive and take a stand.<\/p>\n

The two protagonists of the novel are sisters Isabelle and Vianne.\u00a0 Isabelle is established as a stubborn, independent character, often getting in trouble for those traits.\u00a0 This rebellious streak goes from immaturity to heroic defiance as she grows through her experiences of the war.\u00a0 During the war, she began working with the French Resistance, starting with small tasks like spreading resistance papers and delivering letters.\u00a0 Eventually, she starts hiding downed airmen to protect them from being found and arrested by the Nazis.\u00a0 These efforts eventually led her to develop an escape route with coordinated safe houses, transportation, and a hike through the mountains to get the airmen to Spain.\u00a0 Isabelle personally traveled the dangerous route with the men repeatedly and developed a working relationship with the British government.<\/p>\n

While Isabelle\u2019s version of resistance represents the organized, direct resistance, Vianne\u2019s story tells of an equally vital role of resistance that relies on endurance and patience.\u00a0 For the majority of the book, Vianne condemns Isabelle\u2019s desire for resistance.\u00a0 Vianne does everything she can to keep her daughter safe, even when a Nazi soldier is billeted in her home.\u00a0 However, when women, including her best friend, begin to be deported, Vianne feels obligated to do something to keep their children safe as well.\u00a0 Reluctantly, she rescues the children of those being deported and brings them to the local convent, where she and the Mother Superior work to hide the Jewish children.\u00a0 The novel emphasizes the contrast of Isabelle\u2019s rebellious, outspoken nature and Vianne\u2019s quiet endurance.\u00a0 Despite their differences, both sisters saved lives and represent the contributions of real women who went unknown and underappreciated.<\/p>\n

One of the main themes of this book is the idea of women as heroes.\u00a0 Part of the reason women played such a critical role in the resistance was that they were often overlooked or seen as incapable.\u00a0 One example within the novel is when Isabelle is captured for her connection to the \u201cNightingale\u201d, the codename used for her escape route for airmen.\u00a0 Her father claims he was the Nightingale to protect her from questioning and torture.\u00a0 Isabelle tries to stop him and admit that she was truly The Nightingale, but the soldier merely scoffs and says a woman wouldn\u2019t be capable of that kind of work (pg 479).\u00a0 This underestimation of women is part of what made them so valuable for dangerous missions.\u00a0 Another example from the novel is how Vianne saved so many children while living with a high-ranking German officer.\u00a0 Because the officer saw her for little more than her housekeeping and her body, she was able to get the children forged papers, to the convent, and keep an eye on them by teaching there (pg 456, 475).\u00a0 However,\u00a0 many townspeople saw Vianne housing a German officer as compliant, despite the mistreatment and abuse she suffered while being forced to house him.\u00a0 Despite the added difficulty of saving children while living with a Nazi, Vianne continued her work, not for recognition, but for the future of those children.\u00a0 These women represent many more women who resisted and made a difference during the war, yet their stories so often go untold.\u00a0 Both storylines show how women utilized society’s perspective to complete heroic feats that saved lives.<\/p>\n

The literary choice to show two perspectives also allowed for a more dynamic view of the war.\u00a0 Isabelle\u2019s storyline helped tell the story of the women who helped save the lives of downed Allied pilots.\u00a0 Isabelle represents the work done by women like Andr\u00e9e de Jongh and the \u201cComet Line\u201d, a real escape line that trekked over the Pyrenees mountain into Spain.\u00a0 Andr\u00e9e de Jongh risked her life to lead over 400 Allied soldiers to the safety of Spain.\u00a0 Similar to Isabelle, de Jongh was captured and put into a concentration camp (Rossignol).\u00a0 Vianne\u2019s perspective tells the story of the many women left at home during the war who had to survive however they could.\u00a0 She tells the experience of women forced to billet with soldiers and the suffering that sometimes came with it.\u00a0 These women faced food scarcity, raised children, and were treated poorly by German officers.\u00a0 Both women, while different, represent the real lives of many women who lived through the war.<\/p>\n

Occasionally, the novel features a third perspective.\u00a0 We follow the story of an elderly woman facing terminal cancer and trauma related to the war.\u00a0 Through the novel, we learn that she has been secretive about her past with her son, her only living family.\u00a0 When she is invited to Paris for a reunion honoring the Nightingale, she realizes she can\u2019t keep running from her past.\u00a0 She attends the reunion with her son, where we learn that she is Vianne.\u00a0 She describes her sister’s heroism, reunites with one of the children she saved, and tells her story to her son.\u00a0 While more sentimental than historical, this third perspective gives the reader a glimpse into the lasting trauma and even generational effects that the war left on families.<\/p>\n

While The Nightingale<\/em> leans into romantic and sentimental tropes of the historical fiction genre, the story\u2019s strength lies in the detailed exploration of the domestic front of the war. Hannah\u2019s novel details the reality of hunger, living conditions, and constant surveillance, particularly for women.\u00a0 The balance of historical storytelling with the feminine perspective highlights the stories of so many women who made an impact during the war and went unappreciated.\u00a0 From the quiet defiance of women like Viane to the blatant resistance of Isabelle and the escape route, the novel shows that both were important in the history of France.\u00a0 The book also offers a glimpse into the struggles of life after the tragedy and loss of war.\u00a0 By focusing on the large scale of World War II on the lives and choices of these two sisters, Hannah shows the intimate reality of the cost of survival.\u00a0 I would recommend The Nightingale<\/em> to anyone who is interested in historical fiction with an emphasis on the importance of domestic movements to survive and resistance over traditional battlefield confrontations.<\/p>\n
