Witherspoon’s March 2023 book club pick was Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale. While the book was published in 2015, its themes and focus feel more prevalent than ever. “It’s set in France during World War II and it tells the story of two sisters, Vianne and Isabelle, and they are separated by really different circumstances,” Witherspoon said of the novel in her Instagram announcement video. “One is a mother whose husband has gone to war to fight the Nazis, and another who becomes a spy, who aids the resistance against Nazi forces.”

Witherspoon goes on to say, “each of these women is embarking on these incredibly perilous journeys. It’s so heart-wrenching. It’s dramatic. You’re holding your breath in certain sequences, but it’s an often untold story of a woman’s experience of war and the struggle to survive.” The Daisy Jones & The Six producer also calls the novel “arguably one of the most powerful, most captivating novels about [World War II] in recent years,” and praises The Nightingales focus on “female resilience.”


This book sounds like an absolute page-turner. We don’t need much more convincing than Witherspoon’s enthusiastic endorsement and that thrilling synopsis.
