When will the movie be released? We are all so excited and thrilled for you!
I am a retired school librarian and I've read a lot of books in my time but this is the best book I have ever read.
Thank you Kristin for this amazing journey. I'm welling up just thinking of this beautiful, historical, personal work that literally took by breath away and touched by heart.
I love all of your books but found The Nightingale to be outstanding, in a class of its own -- a prize-worthy class.
One point bothered me: To my (limited) understanding, when the children take a break from school to go skinny dipping, wouldn't it have been obvious that Ari was circumcised and, therefore, Jewish?
I think that only stuck with me because the rest of the book felt perfect. I really have to marvel at how thoroughly this book refutes the old writer's adage to "write what you know."
Kate R, I don't think Ari/Daniel got undressed to go swimming. Plus, maybe the children left on their underwear.
To the author: I thought this book was much better than "All The Light We Cannot See." I was pleasantly surprised.
Just finished this morning and went to work looking like I just had a deep loss in the family. Wonderful novel! Loved it!!!!!!!
I cried so hard.. I was finishing it while on a morning walk and was crying trying to finish my fast walk. I was so mad and happy at the same time.
