Vianne continues to follow the rules even when it means allowing a Nazi officer to live in her home and the abuse and arrest of her Jewish neighbors. The Nazi invasion of France heightens these differences. Vianne, the older sister, is a rule-follower, whereas Isabelle is rebellious and speaks her mind.
Since their mother died when they were children, Vianne and Isabelle have always been at odds.
Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale tells the story of Vianne (Rossignol) Mauriac and Isabelle Rossignol, two French sisters who resist the occupying Nazi forces during World War II (WWII) by hiding Jewish children so they are not taken to concentration camps (the Holocaust) and by leading the escape of Allied pilots whose planes have been shot down over France.
