When the Nightingale Sings (by Suzanne Kelman)

I love historical fiction books, especially those that take place during WWII. Suzanne Kelman has written several books in recent years that I have loved. I will say that this book was a disappointment. It was definitely more fiction than history. I loved getting to know Hedy Lamar and Judy Morgan. However, so much of the book is based on fiction. In reading the author’s notes at the end of the book, I discovered that she forced a connection between the two women in order to create the story. That does not appeal to me and is something I don’t appreciate. I don’t mind the random bits added to make a story interesting. But this one was based on very little fact.

I was a little disappointed in the overall book. But learning about these two women helped redeem the book so that I felt it worth rounding it up from 3.5 stars to 4.
