lizziaha's review against another edition

5.0

This book is just a deluge of pain and grief and raw humanity. And because of that humanity, hope and love manage to shine through, against all odds. This definitely reframed the Russian front for me, and gave me a whole new perspective on Russian women and their part in the war.
