Book of The Month

The nightingale

Two sisters in Nazi-occupied France take different paths: one struggles to keep her family safe while the other bravely joins the Resistance. Their story reveals the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of women during war.

A copy of The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah rests on a wooden table next to a pair of eyeglasses and a white coffee cup. A small plant is visible in the corner, creating a cozy scene perfect for the ZestYears Book Club gathering.
A group of five adults sit together on a couch, smiling and talking at the ZestYears Book Club. One woman with short white hair and glasses holds an open book. The setting is cozy, with bookshelves and plants in the background.
