Oh my God!!! Kate Quinn never disappoints but this one was by far the best so far. A story of Russia in the time of Hitler and Stalin. A time of war but more than that a story of one woman Ludmyla who was fighting for her country. Not for Russia. Not for Stalin. For her son to have a future. For her right to finish her history degree. Β Mila Pavlichenko turns from student to sniper in hours after her homeland is invaded. She doesn't think about what she's done. She just knows she wants to fight. Mila quickly becomes a sniper who no man can match. The men discovered they needed her. I was completely surprised by this novel and how I could barely look away long enough to do other things in my life. I just finished and I'm already wanting to read it again.
Still reeling from war wounds and devastated by loss, Mila finds herself isolated and lonely in the glittering world of Washington, DC—until an unexpected friendship with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and an even more unexpected connection with a silent fellow sniper offer the possibility of happiness. But when an old enemy from Mila’s past joins forces with a deadly new foe lurking in the shadows, Lady Death finds herself battling her own demons and enemy bullets in the deadliest duel of her life.
