So, both these parallels are supremely average. You could easily predict how it would go down.
So another unlikely incident, but then again not really. There is a sniper hired to kill the President and he wanted to place blame on Mila being the President killer, which was a bit juvenile. In the other parallel, we read about Mila going to Washington and befriending First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. So, that doesn’t come as a surprise to readers. But, if it’s based on a true story, then of course it’s going to be about women breaking barriers. One story line is where Mila is serving in the Russian army killing Germans and increasing her tally of kills. But, these aspects of her personality that lured me into the book in the first place are not explored at all. It starts with a premise about our protagonist Mila being a young mother and a quiet bookworm. 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.īased on a true story, The Diamond Eye is a haunting novel of heroism born of desperation, of a mother who became a soldier, of a woman who found her place in the world and changed the course of history forever. 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. When news of her three hundredth kill makes her a national heroine, Mila finds herself torn from the bloody battlefields of the eastern front and sent to America on a goodwill tour. Given a rifle and sent to join the fight, Mila must forge herself from studious girl to deadly sniper–a lethal hunter of Nazis known as Lady Death. In 1937 in the snowbound city of Kiev (now known as Kyiv), wry and bookish history student Mila Pavlichenko organizes her life around her library job and her young son–but Hitler’s invasion of Ukraine and Russia sends her on a different path. The New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code returns with an unforgettable World War II tale of a quiet bookworm who becomes history’s deadliest female sniper. So, here we go! ~~GOODREADS DESCRIPTION~~ But, I didn’t quite enjoy this as much as the others. After having loved the other three, I had high hopes for this one.
Please tolerate! This was the fourth Kate Quinn book I read. Hi Readers! Here is the first review of 2023! It has been a while since I wrote a review and also a while since I finished reading The Diamond Eye.
