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.

I’ve read a lot about WWII but this was different. More real. More raw.

Also, reading this while serving in the military was a quite the experience. While I haven’t experienced war, it’s strange how many of the typical military things I recognized.
