SUMMARY:Book Discussion: "The Diamond Eye" by Kate Quinn
DESCRIPTION:The New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code returns with an unforgettable World War II tale of a quiet librarian who becomes history's deadliest female sniper. Based on a true story. In the snowbound city of Kiev\, wry and bookish history student Mila Pavlichenko organizes her life around her library job and her young son-but Hitler's invasion of Russia sends her on a different path. Given a rifle and sent to join the fight\, Mila must forge herself from studious girl to deadly sniper-a lethal hunter of Nazis known as Lady Death. When news of her three hundredth kill makes her a national heroine\, Mila finds herself torn from the bloody battlefields of the eastern front and sent to America on a goodwill tour. Still reeling from war wounds and devastated by loss\, Mila finds herself isolated and lonely in the glittering world of Washington\, DC-until an unexpected friendship with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and an even more unexpected connection with a silent fellow sniper offer the possibility of happiness. But when an old enemy from Mila's past joins forces with a deadly new foe lurking in the shadows\, Lady Death finds herself battling her own demons and enemy bullets in the deadliest duel of her life. Based on a true story\, 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. -- Provided by the publisher\n\nSearch for the ebook and/or eaudiobook at stchlibrary.org
