S.A. Cosby is a auto by author for me moving forward. His ability to pull me into a story is completely unmatched.

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.

E.P.I.C.!!!

From the perspective of a therapist, I appreciate the truth behind how others view mental health. I appreciate her bringing it out into the open for others to see that mental health concerns are everywhere and not something to ignore or try to hide. Well written and enjoyable

We read this for book club. I liked it a lot. It presents some points of view that I had never considered.

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

It urges us to go beyond just reading the Bible to studying it. Dig deeper and go beyond the surface.

I honestly don't know what to say. In the beginning I was not really enjoying the book. I think its because I was listening to the audiobook and the dual POVS felt abrubt. I would have to say that after picking up the e-book and immersivley reading. I began to enjoy it. It got even messier and more complicated. I guess when youre living in the present at the same time leaving a legacy to the future. Capturing all your truths and leaving them behind for your family is a gift of healing you didn't know the legacy needed.

Incredible storytelling to bring the history of music, Detroit, and J Dilla into one holy trinity.

I like that the book rhymes.
