💬Come join me and Kate Quinn, the New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code for a ZOOM 📹 author chat to discuss an unforgettable World War II tale of a quiet librarian who becomes history’s deadliest female sniper. 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.
🗓️WOW! This was an AMAZING author chat. We had the opportunity to pick Kate's brain. She gave us her research process, how quarantine affected her writing and publication, lots on the historical characters Eleanor Roosevelt and Mila P, how she interpreted Mila's memoir and what liberties she took from that, women's roles in war and as parents, how the Ukraine feels about Mila. Find out what books and yes that is 2 are on the way and what books she has read and recommends! Y'all will LOVE IT!
💎See why Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author of The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post says “Kate Quinn amazes me. With each new book she reaches new heights in her craft as a writer of page-turning plots and prose. The Diamond Eye is a remarkable story filled with heart, intrigue, breathtaking drama and, perhaps best of all, meticulously researched details that prove that history provides the absolute best raw material for storytelling. Like her sniper subject Lyudmila Pavlichenko, Kate Quinn has brilliantly hit her mark-this is a stunning novel about a singular historical heroine.”
🇷🇺In the snowbound city of Kiev (now known as Kyiv), wry and bookish history student Mila Pavlichenko organizes her life around her library job and her young son-but Hitler’s invasion of Ukraine and 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.
