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. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 $a Pavlychenko, LiÍ¡udmyla MykhaiÌlivna, $d 1916-1974 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Eleanor, $d 1884-1962 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Soviet Union $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Snipers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women soldiers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Librarians $z Russia $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Electronic books. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/14330011?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/hpc_9780062943521_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206012401.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45907C10940511EE938C1F5A49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
