Best book I've read yet this summer. Incredibly emotional and engaging. A wonderful story of friendship.

An incredible piece of historical fiction. Written in 1963 by Alki Zei, who herself was a member of the resistance movement in Greece during its fascist dictatorship, the book follows two sisters in the beginning of the fascist dictatorship. Myrto and her younger sister Melissa play all sorts of games with their older cousin Nikos, and the games turn serious as they have to help Nikos stay hidden from the authorities who are hunting him for his revolutionary beliefs.

Based on separate suggestions from two trusted reader friends, I decided to venture outside my normal mystery/thriller genre and give Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale a try. It was a wise decision. Although it is a long book (17.5 hours in audio, expertly read by Polly Stone), I finished it quickly because it was so interesting and so well written. Vianne Mauriac and Isabelle Rossignol are sisters, very different in both age and personality, trying to survive in war-torn Nazi occupied France. Politics, culture, religion, weather, family, friendships and the disruption of normal life all factor into a captivating story. Not a spoiler — Rossignol is French for Nightingale, which becomes significant in the long run.

A delightful blend of sci fi, comedy and tense moments. A quick read because I needed to know what happened next.
