The Nightingale

France, 1939. As the spectre of war looms, two sisters—so different in temperament and outlook—are drawn into the upheaval that will reshape their lives forever.

Vianne Mauriac is gentle and grounded, a schoolteacher raising her young daughter in the quiet countryside of Carriveau, while her husband is away fighting. As German troops occupy her town, she must face the impossible: quartering enemy officers in her home, protecting the vulnerable—especially Jewish children—and making harrowing moral choices to keep her family alive.
