The Nightingale is one of those books that broke me open. Kristin Hannah writes with such raw empathy (as always) and the bond between the sisters, so full of tension, love, and sacrifice absolutely wrecked me (in a nice way). I loved how she captured both the horrors of war and the tiny, defiant acts of resistance that hold a person together. It made me think about how history lives in our bodies and our relationships. The Spoon and the Sea also explores family, war, and memory, and if you were as devastated and uplifted by The Nightingale as I was, I think my novel will speak to you, too.
