Isabelle is impetuous and has run away from or been expelled from several schools. Isabelle, the younger sister, has been living in one boarding school after another because her father is incapable of raising her and Vianne was unable to do so after suffering a miscarriage. Vianne enjoys her quiet life and relies on her husband, Antoine, to take care of everything. She is married and has one daughter, Sophie.
Vianne, the older sister, lives in the town of Carriveau where there is an airstrip. The main plot begins just as France is being drawn in the war. The elderly woman begins to remember the story of Vianne and Isabelle. As her son is helping her, he sees a photo of a woman named Juliette Gervaise and asks his mother who she is.
Her son is helping her to move to a retirement home. The Nightingale begins at the Oregon Coast in 1995 with an elderly woman who is dying of cancer. Both sisters learn who they are and what they are capable of as the war wages on. One sister is rebellious and intent on fighting for France while the other simply wants to survive the war with her family intact. The Nightingale, by Kristin Hannah, is about two sisters struggling to survive during World War II in France.
