The brand-new historical novel based on a true story from the bestselling author of The Rose Code and The Alice Network
*Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee: Best Historical Fiction 2022*
In the snowbound city of Kiev, aspiring historian Mila Pavlichenko’s life revolves around her young son – until Hitler’s invasion of Russia changes everything. Suddenly, she and her friends must take up arms to save their country from the Fuhrer’s destruction.
Handed a rifle, Mila discovers a gift – and months of blood, sweat and tears turn the young woman into a deadly sniper: the most lethal hunter of Nazis.
Yet success is bittersweet. Mila is torn from the battlefields of the eastern front and sent to America while the war still rages. There, she finds an unexpected ally in First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and an unexpected promise of a different future.
But when an old enemy from Mila’s past joins forces with a terrifying new foe, she finds herself in the deadliest duel of her life.
The Diamond Eye is a haunting novel of heroism born of desperation, of a mother who became a soldier, of a woman who found her place in the world and changed the course of history forever.

Helt enkelt strålande! Quinn har en fantastisk förmåga att skriva om andra världskriget ur nya perspektiv. Alltid givande. Har lyssnat på alla hennes böcker, mycket skickligt inlästa av Maarleveld.Grattis till dig som har detta äventyr framför dig!

Could not put this down. What a protagonist! The reader, Saskia, is sublime as always.

Absolutely fantastic story. Listening to this book, I can almost smell the cordite, mud, blood and wet field uniforms. And the worlds best narrator, Saskia.

Spännande och väl efterforskat. Det beskrivna kriget känns närmare än kanske författaren avsåg eftersom hjältinnan är från Ukraina.

Ännu en välskriven, spännande historisk roman av Kate Quinn. Det är dock svårt att slå Jägarinnan som är lysande!

Mycket intressant och välskriven. Uppläsaren är också riktigt bra så jag ser fram mot fler historiska romaner av denna författaren.

Lady death was a truly remarkable woman with her stinging intelligence, stamina and focus. Perfectly read as well.

Tyvärr inte en av Kate Quinns vassaste romaner, även om den var klart läsvärd mellan varven. Totalt sett blir "The Diamond Eye" dessvärre både lite enformig och stundtals ganska långtråkig. Efterordet är faktiskt mer intressant än själva romanen.
