I’m not sure it’s possible to put into words just how fantastic The Nightingale is. It has made me second guess any other 5 star review I have ever given. By page 100 I was sure it is the best book I have ever read. Though I must advise, I don’t recommend reading the last 25% of the novel in a public place. I’m fairly certain the person sitting to the right of me on my plane to Miami this morning thought I was traveling to Florida to attend a funeral— so many tears, so many tissues. Luckily the woman to my left pointed at my book and told me how much she loved it— so she gets it. I have nothing but praise for the author and look forward to reading more of her work.
