In 1995, an old mother in her twilight years imagined that she would meet every person she had loved but had forgotten when she passed away, and finally she would get peace. She packed the past years, but she had only one thing she cared about, something she wanted to take away, although she thought forgetting was how important it was.
A temporary ID card and the young woman in the photo: Juliet Gives, aroused the curiosity of her son. This old mother, who had not been here for a long time, had to re-examine her life. Those wars that are trying hard to forget, and those who have been left behind, travel through time and space, brush away the thick dust through the dusty memories, and the dark years of the past are slowly becoming clear.
Time reverses, and the World War II scene like hell on earth is convenient for this form to unfold.
Christine Hannah The world-renowned work "Nightingale " tells the story of a pair of sisters with very different personalities, completely different attitudes to life and way of survival when facing war.
Vian and Isabel are sisters. Due to premature death of their mother and their father's abandonment, Vian finds a place to settle down in Antoine's love. He has a cowardly and tolerant personality, and seems to be timid and not strong enough. And her sister Isabel is a person who doesn't know how to be afraid. She is rebellious, brave and fearless. She especially wants to get rid of the constraints of boarding schools to get her father's love. At the same time, she hates the German Nazis and always wants to charge and fight.
The same family has different personalities for the sisters, but in the cruel war, they saved countless lives in different ways. Especially the Nightingale Plan planned and implemented by her sister Isabelle and a group of friends, which saved the lives of 117 pilots. And the war made Viane become brave and strong, and saved 19 Jewish children in her own unique way.
When war comes, for women, the pain they suffer is even more cruel and admirable than men. War exposed ugly and cruel behavior, leaving countless women victims.
At the end of the war, no one had to establish a monument for women who were involved in the war. After the war is over, life has to continue. They pick up the broken life again, wipe away tears, heal their pain, and rebuild their homes. It’s just that “men tell the facts, women continue to live.”
This is a beautifully written, sincere and simple and moving work. The author uses superb skills to capture women whose destiny was changed by war during World War II, and thus evokes people's scrutiny of life, love and the cruelty of war. It also shows women's optimism and perseverance through heartbreaking details.
excerpts from some golden sentences in the book. I think such a story is unforgettable:
Life is so fragile and so vulnerable.
All things start with love and end with love.
What matters is not what I have lost, but the past in my heart. The pain will always heal. Love lasts forever. We still exist so far.
