About the author
Kristin Hannah is an American novelist known for historical and contemporary fiction centered on families under pressure. Her books give war, disaster, and social change a domestic scale, with particular attention to women's work and endurance.
Hannah keeps the sisters on separate but connected paths. One resists openly and at great physical risk; the other makes choices inside a household under occupation, where protecting a child or a neighbor can be an act that no public record will preserve.
Where to start
Start with The Nightingale. Two sisters in occupied France find different ways to resist the war that has entered their homes.
