Customer Reviews

Captivating historical fiction.

Loved the storyline and learning about the Night Witches. The sacrifices of life in Russia for a dirt poor abused woman were heartrending. The harshness of life around Lake Baikal was eye opening for me. I never lost interest in the way the plot developed. A really good read.

Very Interesting Read!

A tough lady in the midst of war- different from other stories Ive read about this time period in a good way.

Excellent Read, Great Ending

This one did not disappoint when it came to the ending. Found it a bit of slow start, but well written (as you would expect from Kate Quinn.) For myself, I would prefer a slow start and a satisfying ending over a quick start and a disappointing ending, so this is still a 5-star book from my perspective. If you like this one, consider The Diamond Eye (my favorite read in several years!) and The Nightingale, which offer similar stories while still being completely different. A VERY SATISFYING READ!

One of the best WWII novels I've read in a long time

From the first page it draws you in & keeps drawing you in you may need a tissue or three before you finish the read . I read it in 2 days because I couldn't put it down.

Loved

I'm not the biggest fan of fiction, but since this was historical fiction I bit. The mystery of Quinn's books is never quite mysterious enough for me to not see it coming from the first few chapters, but it's still a great read. I loved reading it because it was easy, quick, and the characters are well developed. I read The Alice Network first and TBH that one had more of a twist ending than this.

Love this author

I've read most of Kate Quinns books now and she is amazing. She keeps you guessing, intrigued, and brings life to her characters. Once I start her books, I can never put them down. I loved this book!
