The Nightingale: by Kristin Hannah | Conversation Starters A Brief Look Inside: The Nightingale, is set in France during the World War II. It is about family relationships, loss, grief, friendship, and life during the war. Two sisters, Vianne and Isabelle, are as different from each other as possible. Vianne appears passive and traditional while Isabelle is impulsive and careless. As the story progresses, we see how circumstances changes the two sisters, who both perform a large role in saving several people during the war.
