There is obviously violence, since the story takes place during a war, but the descriptions are not excessive. Kate Quinn is a wonderful writer and does a masterful job of weaving entertaining fiction with her much researched historical facts about Mila Pavlichenko and those who were close to her. She was credited with over 300 sniper kills and even traveled to the United States, meeting with President and Eleanor Roosevelt. Lyudmila Pavlichenko was a Ukrainian/Russian history student who became a trained marksman and fought on the front lines for her country against Hitler’s forces. I’ve read some great books this year, but The Diamond Eye is my favorite so far!! This historical fiction novel is based on the story of a famous female sniper during WWII. I was so intrigued by The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn that I could barely tear myself away from reading.
