Kristin Hannah’s The Nightin­gale (2015) claims a lofty ambi­tion: to illu­mi­nate the large­ly unsung wartime hero­ism of French women. How faith­ful­ly does the nov­el hon­or the…

Bri­an Robeson’s bat­tle against the raw Cana­di­an wilder­ness speaks to some­thing pri­mal in all of us: the need to test our lim­its, to impro­vise under pres­sure, and ulti­mate­ly to dis­cov­er who we are when there’s no one left to lean on but our­selves.
