From the powerful and brilliantly researched subject matter, to a wide-ranging plot that is carried along by an exceptional cast of characters who all possess voluminous depth, this was a memorable read that conjured a range of themes and emotions, as well as some breathtaking imagery.įrom very early on it clear that the story was to take place on a grand scale, using multiple storylines, timelines, and settings. I have rarely come across a book that is quite so compelling as this. But there is something disconcerting about the soft-spoken German widow… When her long-widowed father unexpectedly comes homes with a new fiancée, Jordan is thrilled. Growing up in post-war Boston, seventeen-year-old Jordan McBride is determined to become a photographer. To find her, the fierce, disciplined investigator joins forces with the only witness to escape the Huntress alive: the brazen, cocksure Nina. Yet one target eludes him: a vicious predator known as the Huntress. Transformed by the horrors he witnessed from Omaha Beach to the Nuremberg Trials, British war correspondent Ian Graham has become a ‘Nazi hunter’. When the Nazis attack the Soviet Union, she risks everything to join the legendary Night Witches, an all-female night bomber regiment wreaking havoc on the invading Germans. We had a series of fantastic discussions and both loved the book, and the added sense of mystery made it ideal for a buddy read.īold and fearless, Nina Markova always dreamed of flying.

This was a buddy read with my friend, Gem (our sixth one!). Trigger warnings: Child death, sexual references, alcoholism
