The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn

4.0

---

Whilst The Diamond Eye was a work of fiction, it was based on the true story of Lyudmila Pavlichenko.  I was vaguely aware of her story, however, with my knowledge of history being rudimentary at best, I wanted to learn more about this remarkable woman and discovered just what an incredible job Kate Quinn did in basing this novel on "Lady Death."  It was obviously well researched and her ability to write a fiction novel off a non fiction subject, gave me vibes of The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.  An enjoyable and interesting read.
