The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn Book Summary

New York Times Bestseller

The bestselling author of The Rose Code returns with an unforgettable World War II tale of a quiet bookworm who becomes history’s deadliest female sniper. Based on a true story.

In 1937 in the snowbound city of 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.

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.

Historical Fiction. Is certainly not for everyone. But if you are captivated by the WWII era and the under represented women (nurses, spies, code masters and apparently snipers), who fought and died in that horrific war you will “enjoy” this good book.

Diamond Eye. Incredible book! Characters leapt from the pages and transferred full blown into my conscious mind. Love that it is based on a historic woman of unique capabilities.

Loved it!. Love! Love! Loved this! Such a great read. I blew right through it.

Excellent read!. Gripping until the very end.

Loved this book!. She is brilliant the author of this any piece of writing that has to do with history is amazing by her. I couldn’t put it down!

Great easy read. Really good interesting read. I found 2 plots lines a little over the top. The story could have stood on its own without the additional drama.

Fascinating story, but…. I finished the book because I wanted to know how it ended. But, unlike the other books I’ve read by this author, it didn’t hold my attention very well. I found many of her descriptions to be verbose, and some were repetitive. I’m glad I read it, but I cannot recommend it.

Love a woman lead!. Amazing story! If it weren’t for me wanting to sleep, I would’ve finished this book sooner.

Bull’s Eye. This was by far the best , most enthralling, book I have read this year. The fact that most all of it is true makes it even better. For Americans to read this book is even more important, especially with the war raging in Ukraine. To understand the present we must learn about the past.

Fascinating. An engrossing historical novel that brings to life a WWII hero that I had never heard of before. Fascinating.

The diamond eye. I couldn’t put this book down. It was riveting from beginning to end.

Wow. Utterly riveting and spectacular book...exhausting and impossible to put down!

Couldn’t put it down!. This is so well written and what a page-turner. As a fan of the WW 2 era, it was good to have the Russian perspective whom I’d always thought of as the enemy. Can’t wait to read her next novel.

The Diamond Eye. This book was absolutely great! Phenomenal, alive characters.

The Diamond Eye. So interesting and timely. I love Kate Quinn’s historical fiction. It’s horrifying but not difficult to imagine a woman in Ukraine being called to protect her homeland and family today. Some of the current countries have swapped roles but the threat to freedom and family is sadly the same.

Good read. Interesting story about female sniper but not a cold blooded killer. Would recommend

Wow!. Fantastic read - couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait to read Quinn’s other works.

Great read. This book was a great find for me. Based on historical events I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, and the storytelling of such important history. The will and character of those who fought so bravely for their countries and humanity is on full display.

Great story!. Historical fiction that doesn’t disappoint.

Boooooring!. I’ve enjoyed other Kate Quinn books, but this one is so boring. It didn’t hold my attention. Basically, every chapter is the same song, new verse. I quit reading it before getting 50% of the way through it. So disappointing.

Great Read. The story is completely captivating from beginning to end!

The Diamond Eye. Although the story of Mila Pavilchenko is a fascinating one, I found the book deteriorated dramatically once the storyline shifted to America. The plot became somewhat unbelievable and with a very predictable ending. The weakest of Quinn’s books by far.

Captivating from start to end. Again Kate Quinn gives us an outstanding story demonstrating her great mind and heart. Couldn’t put book down. I cried and laughed with the rich characters especially Mila. You will experience the horrors and unselfish actions of people on the frontline in WWII …… it made me wonder……what would I do?
