Authors often use literary references in their writing. This one was particularly impressive. War. A fiery explosion. A distant parachute. And the most significant thing . . . was a tiny, suspended, comma. Our protagonist was determined to risk her life, just to save that little thing.
It’s early in the year, but I think The Nightingale will be one of my favorite 2024 reads. Kristin Hannah places some beautiful and descriptive lines within a poignant plot fleshed out with engaging characters. If you’ve not read any Hannah, I’d recommend her work (especially The Nightingale)! Check her out in GoodReads!
