The Nightingale

Devastation Rating
WWII France occupation sisters
Our Take
Two French sisters survive the Nazi occupation of France by completely different means — one collaborating, one resisting. Hannah makes the moral complexity earn its melodrama. The ending's structure requires you to go back and reread the opening chapter, at which point it delivers the final blow.
