À propos de cet audio
The New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code returns with an unforgettable World War II tale of a quiet librarian who becomes history’s deadliest female sniper. Based on a true story.
In the snowbound city of Kiev, wry and bookish history student Mila Pavlichenko organizes her life around her library job and her young son—but Hitler’s invasion of Russia sends her on a different path. 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. 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.
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.
Based 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.

Histoire
Early in the Great War, men left Britain’s factories in droves to enlist. Struggling to keep up production, arsenals hired women to build the weapons the military urgently needed. “Be the Girl Behind the Man Behind the Gun,” the recruitment posters beckoned. Thousands of women—cooks, maids, shopgirls, and housewives—answered their nation’s call. These “munitionettes” worked grueling shifts often seven days a week, handling TNT and other explosives with little protective gear.

In 1942, the Gestapo sent out an urgent transmission: "She is the most dangerous of all Allied spies. We must find and destroy her." The target in their sights was Virginia Hall, a Baltimore socialite who talked her way into Special Operations Executive, the spy organization dubbed Winston Churchill's "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare." She became the first Allied woman deployed behind enemy lines and - despite her prosthetic leg - helped to light the flame of the French Resistance, revolutionizing secret warfare as we know it.

A Story well told about an amazing Woman
War is usually told through the eyes of men and women the romantic interest. This is a story about a real woman and who went on to make history as a sniper in the Russian army during WW2. A story well written and worth reading.
I think Saskia Maarleveld is a great reader.

Fascinating Historical Fiction
In the author's notes at the end of the book, the author reveals how true to life this story is. Fascinating subject matter taking place in the early 1940's in the USSR before the U.S.A. enters WWII. A true life account of a real female sniper and how it is done.
Well written and beautifully narrated. Easy to read. Love Kate Quinn and Saskia Maarleveld.

This is the 2nd book I have read by Kate Quinn. She has that magical ability to put you right in the story. Page after page. You can “see” the people when they are talking. Drama, historical setting, fabulous plot and sub plots. Highly recommended.

Another Fascinating Story
This fictionalized story of Lyudmila Pavlichenko is fascinating. It made me want to know more of these strong women in WWII.
I listened to the Woody Guthrie song on her visit to US and Canada in 1942.
I really like Kate Quinn's writing, though at times she does get repetitive or just drags a scene out too long.
