Sheree asked Kristin Hannah:

Hi Kristin, crying a river ... just finished The Nightingale and feel like I left a little piece of my heart on the pages. I didn't think there would be a story to equal or surpass Winter Garden but I was wrong. was the inspiration for The Nightingale from Andree de Jongh's resistance work? ... I have a book on my kindle, Little Cyclone, about the Comet Line but I haven't read it yet. Thanks, Sheree

Kristin Hannah Thank you so, so much! It is absolutely my favorite of my books. And Winter Garden was my favorite before. :) Yes, Andree de Jongh was the inspiration for Isabelle. Her story is so fascinating. You should read it! :) thanks!
