I'm looking for a great book or two to read over my Christmas break and everyone keeps raving about The Nightingale. I recently finished The Great Alone and sad to say that I hated it! It was so incredibly depressing and, in my opinion, overly descriptive that by the end I was skimming the pages just to be done with it. Knowing that, would you recommend The Nightingale to me?

I didn’t like the nightingale but everyone else did! I found that the characters felt flat to me and if just didn’t suck me in. I also read The Women and didn’t like that either. So, I don’t know for sure but I can say that I read two of her books and neither worked for me personally.
In HATED Great Alone and LOVED the Nightingale. So, I would say go for it. Especially if you like historical fiction. I also loved Four Winds and The Women.
I am not a Kristin Hannah Fan, but I thought the great alone was better than the nightingale
Yessss.
