Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale was my #1 lockdown love affair, and you just really need to read it to understand why. In this December *book of the month* episode, I'm giving us a quick intro to ideas of gender, identity and social expectations as explored in the novel. Vianne and Isabelle are the perfect sister duo to explore this with; we bow down to Kristin Hannah for creating them so vividly.
