Read for library book club. Audiobook was well done with different voices and accents by Saskia Maarleveld. Interesting that this was based on a real person, figured it was very fictionalized but according to the author's note a lot of this actually happened. Not a book I would have picked up on my own, but glad it was o the list, as it was satisfying story with an interesting heroine.

I loved this book!! This entire book was interesting and kept my attention throughout. It was suspenseful and thrilling, and I couldn't help getting swept up in the story and characters!!

5+ stars. This one is going to stay with me for awhile. I was captivated by Mila’s story from the start and stayed up late way too many nights to keep reading it.

An intriguing story about a lesser-known heroine from the USSR. Not my favorite of hers, but a well crafted story nonetheless!
