The Nightingale: Cast, Release Date, and Plot – Know Everything
The Nightingale, a historical drama by Ken Follett, is all set to release on December 14th. The book has garnered rave reviews, and we are sure the movie will be no different! Here’s everything you need to know about the cast, release date, plot, and review of this upcoming movie- The Nightingale.
What is About “Nightingale”?
The Nightingale is inspired by the true story of two married Hungarian refugees who crossed Europe together and were separated during World War II, an epic love affair that has now lasted more than seventy years.
It was written in a stunningly beautiful way with so much detail I felt as if I was watching it on screen or reading it like a novel instead of listening to someone read aloud from typed words. The narrator took me through war-torn times in Berlin, across Eastern European cities under Nazi occupation, and finally, New York City, where Greta had fled to give birth to her child alone without Andrej beside her — this book will not make sense unless you are familiar with WWII history.
What’s The Story?
In 1937 Nazi Germany, 17-year-old German student Greta Mueller starts studying music at Julliard and becomes embroiled in performance art inspired by Hitler youth propaganda. In 1945 as World War II draws to its horrifying conclusion, Greta returns to Berlin from New York City and finds herself drawn back into the world of twisted ideology and dangerous secrets. What follows is an unforgettable story of bravery, betrayal—and ultimately redemption—a novel both sweeping and intimate; searingly relevant today amid global political turmoil.
This historical novel captures the dramatic, harrowing years of Nazi Germany and World War II through one unforgettable heroine. Greta Mueller is a 17-year old aspiring musician in 1937 Berlin who falls for an attractive Polish refugee named Andrej Michalak. The two begin to share their love with reckless abandon — until they are separated by war. As German bombs rain down on her city, knowing she’s pregnant and unmarried, Greta flees eastward across Europe into Nazi-occupied Poland and from there to New York City where she awaits word of Andrej; meanwhile, he must fight his way westwards against both Hitler’s army as well as Stalinist forces – fighting each step of the way for survival while still trying desperately to find his wife and unborn daughter.
