BOOK CLUBS SUGGEST
New Book Club Favorites
C&O (Cork & Olive) Book Club of Tampa, Florida, recommends:
THE NIGHTINGALE by Kristin Hannah (St. Martin's Press, 2015), Fiction, 440 pages
"
Never has a book brought about such an in-depth discussion for our group. Everyone LOVED it! The story, told by one of the sisters, was one of survival, sacrifice, and the love of family. Not knowing who was narrating until the end provided an additional element to the story. When we got to that point in the novel, it changed how we viewed the book. These two sisters were each fighting their own internal battles as well as the battle to survive World War II in France.
"We discussed what these women went through, whether or not we liked the male characters, and which character we most closely resembled (Vianne or Isabel). We compared what we had been taught about that time period, and recalled stories of friends and family members that had survived the Holocaust. This book showed such courage and grace and we continue to bring it up several months after reading it." 
Paired with: "French cuisine. We feasted on Apple Tarte, Macaroons, Eclairs, Green Beans Amandine, and Coq au Vin."
