The Nightingale

by Kristin Hannah

Maman had been dead less than two weeks when Papa gave up on being a father.

It was Antoine who’d saved Vianne. That first summer after Maman’s death, the two of them had become inseparable. With him, Vianne had found an escape. By the time she was sixteen, she was pregnant; at seventeen, she was married and the mistress of Le Jardin.
