Amazing!!!!!!

This story is an emotional ride. It's sensual, funny, heartbreaking and uplifting. I would recommend this story to everyone. The narration is absolutely wonderful and definitely enhances the journey the story takes you on.

Excellent Voice Actor. A Must Listen

Wow. Nightingale in audio shows how the right voice can make a great book into something remarkable. Kudos to Ms Bramhall for this heartfelt story of love overcoming all. Educational and enlightening, the author shows us how cultural differences can be overcome with understanding and compassion.

Ms Naqvi should have won an award for her work on Nightingale. I was transported into the lives of each and every character in this novel. Her narration was spot on. Wonderful when a voice actor elevates the strength and power of a story.

I rarely reread or re-listen to books. Nightingale might become an annual read for me now.

Nightingale

Laughter, tears , anger and sometimes frustration all in a wonderful tale of love and misguided religious zealotry. For Charlie and Hazar life couldn't have been more complicated. This is a wonderful story and should be listened to by all. The narrator captured each character fully and beautifully.

Excellent audio!

I loved Nightingale by Andrea Bramhall. One of her best books. Excellent narration by Zehra Jane Naqvi. The subject matter is tough. No denying that. But the love story and look inside a different culture makes it well worth it. This stays on my re-listen list.

WOW

How you even come up with a story line like this is beyond me. A truly amazing story with an equally amazing narrator. Would love to see a sequel.

Amazing!

Would you listen to Nightingale again? Why?

Yes, the storyline was very well-constructed. The way the opposing timelines and settings built up to the apex of the story was brilliant. Really thrilling at many points.

What other book might you compare Nightingale to and why?

The Honor series by Radclyffe, because of the nature of the love affair and the constant pursuit despite danger of protecting said affair.

What about Zehra Jane Naqvi’s performance did you like?

She was absolutely brilliant. So glad that she was the narrator on this. The accents were flawless and she really knew where to put emphasis in order to inspire anticipation.

Who was the most memorable character of Nightingale and why?

Hazar, because of her honor. She was also brought to great life and light by the author through Charlie's eyes.

Any additional comments?

Such a roller coaster of emotions…but what a great story!

This has been the one of the best ones that I listened to in a long time. Definitely on my top 5 favorites. This story has every emotion possible. And the love story is the best part of it and all the tribulations that come along with a forbidden love.
