Kitsap author Kristin Hannah nabbed another spot on the New York Times’ best-seller list upon the release of her latest novel, “The Nightingale.”
In less than two months since that Feb. 3 release, TriStar Pictures has optioned to make the film version of the book, which follows two sisters’ different paths in France during World War II.
One sister, Vianne Mauriac, watches her husband go off to war. Shortly after, she and her daughter become prisoners. Her sister, Isabelle, falls in love with a treacherous man before joining the resistance and fighting for her country.
This will be the second novel of Hannah’s that has gotten the attention of Hollywood. “Home Front” has also been optioned, and director Chris Columbus has been attached to it.
