Which of her other books would you guys recommend? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-nightingale#post-2537633 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 09:53:39 +0000 rattles 2537633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought The Nightingale was excellent. It stayed with me, and I would definitely recommend it. What I wouldn't recommend is the audio version. I started with it and borrowed a friend's kindle to switch to the text because I just couldn't stand the terrible faux French accent and slow pace of the audio book.</p> <p>@PawPrints: I read it right after All the Light as well. I wouldn't recommend that if you're looking to mix it up. Both are about the Nazi occupation of Vichy France. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-nightingale#post-2537631 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 09:51:06 +0000 MrsSCB 2537631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: if I remember correctly it does start put a bit slow. But by the end I really liked it! Possibly more than the nightingale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-nightingale#post-2537626 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 09:39:20 +0000 PinkElephant 2537626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked it, but thought it was particularly dark for Kristin Hannah books.</p> <p>@MrsSCB: Does All the Light We Cannot See get better? I was intrigued by reviews and started it, but couldn't get into it in time, so back to the library it went! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-nightingale#post-2537616 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 09:14:06 +0000 MrsSCB 2537616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I looooved it! And also All the Light We Cannot See. But yeah, definitely not cheerful reads lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-nightingale#post-2537578 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 06:40:33 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2537578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's great! Easy read but really good. It is sad though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-nightingale#post-2537577 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 06:34:02 +0000 erinbaderin 2537577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: If you're looking for a break from Nazis and the Holocaust this is not the book for you! (Although you should read it, it's so good. And I also really enjoyed All the Light We Cannot See.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-nightingale#post-2537514 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 22:16:24 +0000 PawPrints 2537514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: Haaahaha please tell me you are kidding me. I just downloaded it after getting it on my library waiting list and haven't started it yet - I had just finished All The Light We Cannot See and complained the whole time to DH that every single freaking novel has to be about WWII/Nazis/Holocaust now. There are other interesting topics!!</p> <p>[ETA] Okay though admittedly I did end up really enjoying All The Light We Cannot See... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-nightingale#post-2537513 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 22:13:11 +0000 bloved 2537513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's wonderful! I love all Kristin Hannah books but agree with pp that it is very sad (as all her books are). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-nightingale#post-2537453 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 20:34:03 +0000 erinbaderin 2537453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished it, and loved it - so engrossing. Beware, though, that it is SAD! Which I should have expected, given that it's about France during the Nazi occupation, but it made me sob. </p> <p>I put off reading it for a long time because I also recently read The Goldfinch, which I hated, and it put me off The [bird name] books, but they're nothing alike. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-nightingale#post-2537414 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 19:16:17 +0000 babypugs 2537414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved it! One off the best books I've read in a while. It's hard to put down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-nightingale#post-2537405 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 19:10:24 +0000 Alba4 2537405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I literally just started it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-nightingale#post-2537404 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 19:07:24 +0000 delight 2537404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't read it yet so I'm interested to hear if anyone here has! I love Kristin Hannah and have read all her novels. I was just waiting for the paperback version to come out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-nightingale#post-2537387 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 18:38:31 +0000 Bao 2537387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone read The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah? I'm just looking for reviews on it! :) </p>
