Mila Pavlichenko a History student working on her dissertation. She goes out for a weekend at the beech with friends she at a opera/ballet to see some friends perform when she finds out Hitler just invaded Russia. She next finds herself signing up to go to the front with the infantry, where her goal is to become a sniper. After overcoming the sex discrimination against women being effective snipers she becomes one of the best in Russia. But as you will find out there is much more than just that to Mila, so much more.
I love Kate Quinn's books and this one is no different. I fell in love with Mila almost from the start, being a female veteran myself working in a more male dominated job I felt a sisterhood with her and cheered her on throughout this book. Mila's character is one you won't ever forget, her tenacity will inspire, and her gumption will impress you.
