I just finished The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah and WOW ? I need more. Suggestions for similar novels?
I really liked the “Nightingale.” I have yet to read “All the Light We Cannot See,” but I hear it is excellent. One of my favorites is “The Plum Tree,” however, by Ellen Marie Wiseman. I was hooked.
I just finished The Lost Wife which I have been told is similar, but not as good.
Oh, I don’t know that it isn’t just as good. I really enjoyed it.
@Priscille I’ve only read The Lost Wife and I really liked it.
I just finished her next book, The Great Alone, which I liked even better.
The Nightingale was the first novel I’ve read by Hannah. I just purchased The Great Alone and I have high expectations for it so I’m glad to hear it’s just as good!
It’s really good, but The Nightingale was exceptional. One of my all time favorites
I just read On Mystic Lake by her — it was awesome! First one I had read of hers.
Anything by Pam Jenoff. The Lost Wife.
The Nightingale and The Great Alone are very different. Personally, I liked The Great Alone more but I think it’s because I’m totally burned out on WW2 books.
Secrets of a Charmed Life

I just finished Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah and it was lovely.
Great one too!! ♥
I also am listening to “Winter Garden” omly 40 or so pages in, hasn’t quit grabbed me yet. Will keep gping, I usually like K.H. Loved the “Nightingale” and her older novels.
It took me a little bit too, once you really understand the dynamic of the women and the point of the fairytales it gets much better I promise!
@Emily ty, I will stay with it.
I just finished Secrets of a Charmed Life too, and while not quite as good or complex as The Nightingale, it is still an excellent read. As for Kristin Hannah, you can’t go wrong with any of her books. They are all excellent.
THE LONG SHADOW – Cynthia Harrod-Eagles. ‘Morland Place has flourished under Ralph’s stewardship, while Annunciata is a great lady of the Court. Splendid futures seem to be promised for her children; but the religious rift opened by Henry VIII has never been fully healed, and conflict resurfaces at the accession of the Catholic James II. Frightening times ensue, when it is impossible to know who to trust. Annunciata herself is put on trial, while jealousy, betrayal and sudden death threaten her family. And in the shadow of revolution comes a new love to Annunciata, one that can only lead to tragedy.’ (TEAR JERKER ALERT)
The lilac girls is fantastic ❤️
Loved it!
The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh was excellent.
kristin hannah is loveee
I just finished Pegasus by Danielle Steel! It was really good and I haven’t read many of hers.
For that time period, Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. One of my all time favorite books.
Karolina’s Twins
Loved this novel!! I am looking for something similar too.
Lilac girls and The Alice Network!! I highly recommend these two if you loved the Nightingale ♥♥
Im reading that next. Have you read The Great Alone, A novel.
Im reading The Great Alone, same author, I like it.
I am a few pages into this one. I have high expectations for it so my fingers are crossed ??
I like it. It takes you to a whole other. I haven’t read Nightingale
All the Light we Cannot See
The Book Thief
Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly
I’m halfway through The Nightingale. Loved the Great Alone and Fly Away, too.
The Alice Network by Kate Quinn.
I just got The Great Alone, I’m really looking forward to reading it!
All the Light We Cannot See (Anthony Doerr) and Chris Cleave’s Everyone Brave Is Forgiven come right to mind. Lilac Girls was also good.
Sarah’s Key
Little Fires Everywhere, Before we were Yours
The Book Thief, Sarah’s Key, and The Gurnsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. Three of my all time favorites that approach the topic of WWII and the Holocaust from the perspectives of people who were impacted in very different ways.
Loved them all❤️
The Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly, also based on real persons. 5 stars from me.
The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton!!!! Omg it was awesome.
I just started it!
The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult, The Baker’s Secret, too.
Hands down the best book I’ve read in a really long time!!
Lilac girls was good too
The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult. Room on Rue Amelie by Kristin Harmel. (Coming next week.)
The One Man, The Girl From the Train, (very different from and much better than the Girl on the Train.) Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah is very good as well.
The Paris Architect is another great read!
Haven’t started it yet. I can’t help it but salivating every time I look at my tbr list.
The Alice Network
Lilac Girls
The Tuscan Child
A Gentleman in Moscow
The Great Alone also written by Kristin Hannah was wonderful!
Not similar, but read her new book, The Great Alone. I’m reading it now. You will NOT be disappointed!
Lilac Girls❤️
Lilac girls
Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay
Another Unbelievable book…..?
All the Light We Cannot See.
Have you read The Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah? That was a wonderful read as well!
There are many good recommendations above, but what is/was it you liked about the Nightingale so that we know what kind of books you are looking for…the subject, the prose…?
Lilac girls. The women in the castle.
I found a beautiful hard back copy in my neighborhood book exchange. Excited to read it.

I finished The Nightingale last night alight. It is an excellent book.
White Oleander by Janet Fitch is sort of the female version that is similar.
