Definitely a unique novel based on the real life Russian (actually Ukrainian) sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko. Quite a few names I was unsure how to pronounce but I did the best I could since I read the book aloud to my husband. I think he enjoyed the technical military details, we both learned more about WWII. and we were both guessing as to where some of the storyline was going to âtake' us. I always read the Author's Notes, if there are any. Thes notes were interesting as they helped us understand how fact and fiction was blended together.
