For her work, she adopts the codename the Nightingale. Isabelle, who refuses to live passively under German authority, joins the French resistance movement and begins guiding Allied airmen out of France after their planes are shot down. 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. He has never been successful in expressing his love for Isabelle in words, but the war provides him with an opportunity to show incredible love through his actions.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. Although Julien tells Vianne that it is too late for him to show Isabelle that he loves her, he has planned to rescue her by sacrificing his own life to try to save hers.

In contrast, the war gives Julien a new opportunity to show his fatherly love for Isabelle.

Although Von Richter tries to create the pretense of intimacy by asking for Vianne’s “permission” for his advances and demanding that she look at him while he rapes her, there is absolutely nothing intimate about their interaction. In the novel’s exploration of love in the context of warfare, Von Richter’s rape provides a distressing example of what love is not. He tells her she may only keep the boy if she has sex with him and then violently rapes her. Von Richter realizes that Ari (“Daniel”) is not Vianne’s biological son. He hints that he is going to rescue her no matter what it takes, leaving a farewell note for Vianne and Isabelle. Julien tells Vianne that Isabelle has been captured. Her father comes to visit, and they meet in Rachel’s vacant house to avoid Von Richter. In desperation, the Germans begin displaying the bodies of dead resistance fighters to frighten the French people, and Vianne sees the bodies on display in Carriveau.

When she refuses to tell them anything, they lock her in a refrigerator. They ask her who the Nightingale is, assuming the Nightingale is a man and not realizing they have already caught the secret operative. The Nazis interrogate and torture Isabelle.
