My only complain is, that the book focused a lot on her lovers. Especially since one of them was apparently fictional. It would have been great to see less of them and more of Lena (I think thats her name, I listened the audiobook) or Eleanor. I never would have expected a USSR sniper and the first lady of the USA be best friends but thats cool about history. You never know the full story.
This book told me a lot of new information on ww2 and gave me new perpectives. I never knew woman of ussr could fight in the forefront. I definetly want to learn more about the female soldiers of ww2 now. Not that I never wanted before. It's always fun to discover new stories of history.
So I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone interested in historical fiction! Or if you are interested anyway. Such a great book! I also really liked the finnish audiobook version so be not afraid to listen it :D

i just enjoy kate quinn’s books so much and this one was just amazing! i gotta admit that i was a bit nervous going into this book seeing as the protagonist was a real person which differs from her other WWII novels.
however, she was still able to write a fascinating story with complex characters. also this is just me, but i absolutely love how she sprinkles characters from her other novels. nina markova and yelena vetsina you’ll always be loved.
