@whitneygramauthor: I didn’t realize when this book was picked for a book club how heavy and devastating The Nightingale would be. I felt similar to what Kristen Hannah described in her acknowledgements- this isn’t what I signed up for!! Back to the story, I couldn’t stop turning pages and yet felt so enamored by the tragedy unfolding before me. Kristen beautifully told a story that was both equally heart wrenching and truthful to the time. A story that truly changed my perspective and will always stay close to my heart. Because I guess I love to keep tragedies close by- like- you never know when you’ll want to feel sad next? On a random note, I was not expecting to get a copy from the library in large print- I learned I could read in all kinds of distances. And now reading normal books feels like it takes forever. #thenightingale #frenchresistance #worldwar2 #books #BookTok #bookrecs
