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.

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

Vivid, stark and gruesome, this book spared little detail but provided a remarkable look into the sides of WW2 not often seen. Truly illuminated the difference between the woman's views on war and the men's. Excellent read, so many stories... so many lives.
