What
would you say if I said one of the most decorated snipers of WWII was a
librarian? What if I said it was also a woman? The Diamond Eye by Kate
Quinn is the fictional story of Russian Sniper Mika Pavlichenko who only joined
the Russian army and become a sniper during WWII so her son could have a life
without war. She lived the quote, “if war must be let it be in my lifetime so
my children can have peace.”
Even
though this is fiction I still felt like I got Mika’s story. As you can see the
research that Kate did in writing this. But that makes the story better. With
this one being a war novel there are so rough scenes as well as language and
surprisingly a few steamy scenes as well.
The
Diamond Eye has a strong heroine found family which
I love and a romantic thread. It’s pretty much got everything in it.
