The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn
5.0

Based on the memoirs of a real female Russian sniper, this is a riveting tale that is beautifully told. I was fascinated. Propulsive with characters that truly came alive. So interesting to hear the portrayal of a sniper who is also a mother battling on the front and one who is forced to be a propaganda puppet for the Soviets and ends up friends with the Roosevelts. Wow!

I listened to this on audible and highly recommend that format as the narration is excellent. The narrator does a perfect Russian accent when appropriate. Loved that unique touch!
