Author: Kate Quinn
Book club rating: 3.75-5 💎
My rating: 5 💎
We love a badass woman! Mila Pavlichenko was the real life Russian sniper during WWII. She was right at the front lines with the troops and helped take down many Hitlerites. She became known as Lady Death, and becomes a national heroine. Mila was a history student before the war broke out working on her dissertation. But when Germany invaded Russia everything changed. We all loved this woman, you really root for her because she’s a strong willed, intelligent, caring woman. The book is action packed, suspenseful, well researched, and haunting. Kate Quinn put so much research into this book and it made the reading experience come alive. It was also interesting to read about her trip to the United States during the war, and how different the relationship between the USA and Russia is now. Highly recommend this one! This will be in my top favorites of Kate Quinn’s books! I love my group of book club women! So good to get together with them and discuss a strong female main character!
