It happens that a story creeps into your depths, shaking you violently and challenging you to turn away from it. This is exactly what happened to me with the story of the Nightingale. The truth is that I did everything in my power not to write this novel, but my research into the subject of World War II led me to the story of the young woman who made an escape route from occupied France, and I could not escape from it. Thus, her story became the starting point, and in reality it is a story of heroism, risk, and unbridled courage. I could not distract myself from her; I kept digging, exploring, and reading, until this story led me to other stories that were no less amazing. It was impossible for me to ignore those stories. Thus, I found myself under the weight of one question haunting me, a question that remains as valid today as it was seventy years ago: Under what circumstances would I risk my life as a wife and mother? More importantly, under what circumstances would I risk my child's life to save a stranger? This question occupies a major position in the novel The Nightingale. In love, we discover who we want to be; In war, we discover who we are. Perhaps sometimes we do not want to know what we can do to survive our lives. In war, women's stories have always been ignored and forgotten. Women usually return home from the battlefields, say nothing, and then move on with their lives. The Nightingale is a novel about these women, and the bold choices they made to save their children and maintain the lifestyle they had become accustomed to. Kristen Hannah
... "وبعد… فهذا خِتامُ ما كتبَهُ "شمعون بن زخاري"، والملقب بشَمْعون المَصْري، عن أخبارِ بني إسرائيل في برية سين، وما كان من أمرِهم منذ عبور البحر وحتى وفاة موسى بن عمران. وأعلم أني ما كتبت في هذه الرقاع إلا أحَدَ أمرين، أمر شهدته بعيني أو أمر سمعته من رجل من الرجال الثِّقات. وأُشِهد الربَّ (إيل)، أني ما بغيْتُ بهذا الكتاب مجدًا ولا شرفًا، وإنما إظهار شهادتي على جيل من شعب بني إسرائيل، اصطفاه الله وأنجاه بمعجزة من عدوِّه، ثم غضب عليه وأهلكه في تلك البرية القفراء، بعد أن أذاقه شقاء الارتحال ومرارة التيه. هذا كتاب لا أدري من سيكون قارئه، فأيًا من تكن أرجو أن تتذكر كاتب هذه الأبواب بالرحمة وأن تَدعو له بالغفران" شمعون بن زخاري بن رأوبين الملقب بشمعون المصري تم في الليلة الأخيرة من الشهر الثامن لسنة ستين بعد الخروج
