That said I also enjoyed the other points of view and seeing the world via the lens of their particular speciality. The book is well researched and I loved learning more about the Night Witches, being honest Nina is probably my favourite character, she definitely has the real deal girl power. Told from alternate points of view the book moves from the present (1950) to the past (the war years) as we follow the central characters through the events that will eventually bring them altogether in Boston for the showdown. Why it took me so long to read this I will never know and now I have read my first Kate Quinn I can honestly tell you it won’t be my last.
My Thoughts: As you can tell from the publication date I am once again back to catching up on the Netgalleys I need to read. In this immersive, heart-wrenching story, Kate Quinn illuminates the consequences of war on individual lives, and the price we pay to seek justice and truth. secrets that may threaten all Jordan holds dear. Certain that danger is lurking, Jordan begins to delve into her new stepmother’s past-only to discover that there are mysteries buried deep in her family. But there is something disconcerting about the soft-spoken German widow.
When her long-widowed father unexpectedly comes homes with a new fiancée, Jordan is thrilled. Growing up in post-war Boston, seventeen-year-old Jordan McBride is determined to become a photographer. But a shared secret could derail their mission unless Ian and Nina force themselves to confront it. To find her, the fierce, disciplined investigator joins forces with the only witness to escape the Huntress alive: the brazen, cocksure Nina. Yet one target eludes him: a vicious predator known as the Huntress. Transformed by the horrors he witnessed from Omaha Beach to the Nuremberg Trials, British war correspondent Ian Graham has become a Nazi hunter. When she is stranded behind enemy lines, Nina becomes the prey of a lethal Nazi murderess known as the Huntress, and only Nina’s bravery and cunning will keep her alive. When the Nazis attack the Soviet Union, she risks everything to join the legendary Night Witches, an all-female night bomber regiment wreaking havoc on the invading Germans. Synopsis from Goodreads: In the aftermath of war, the hunter becomes the hunted…īold and fearless, Nina Markova always dreamed of flying.
