Nightingale

France, 1939. In the cozy village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac bids farewell to her husband, who is leaving to fight the Germans. She doesn't believe the Nazis will invade France... But soon, rows of tanks rumble past her house, the sky is barely visible from planes dropping bombs. War has come to the quiet French countryside. Vianne faces a choice: either billet a German officer or lose everything – possibly even her life.
Isabelle Mauriac, a rebellious and headstrong eighteen-year-old girl, is determined to fight the invaders. Reckless and daring, she is ready for anything, but her father forces her to go to the village to her older sister. Thus begins her path into the Resistance. Isabelle doesn't look back and doesn't regret her actions. Risking her life again and again, she saves people.
