      Kate Quinn
      The Diamond Eye

      2023 | Nakladatelství HarperCollins Publishers UK

      The brand-new historical novel based on a true story from the bestselling author of The Rose Code and The Alice Network In the snowbound city of Kiev, aspiring historian Mila Pavlichenko's life revolves around her young son - until Hitler's invasion of Russia changes everything. Suddenly, she and h…er friends must take up arms to save their country from the Fuhrer's destruction. Handed a rifle, Mila discovers a gift - and months of blood, sweat and tears turn the young woman into a deadly sniper: the most lethal hunter of Nazis. Yet success is bittersweet. Mila is torn from the battlefields of the eastern front and sent to America while the war still rages. There, she finds an unexpected ally in First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and an unexpected promise of a different future. But when an old enemy from Mila's past joins forces with a terrifying new foe, she finds herself in the deadliest duel of her life. 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.

      O autorovi

      Kate Quinn

      Kate Quinn

      Kate Quinn je dcerou profesora historie, což se projevilo nejprve tím, že v dětství slýchala místo pohádek příběhy o Juliu Caesarovi a Alexandrovi Velikém a za zády rodičů pokoutně sledovala seriál Já, Claudius. A právě z těch časů podle ní pochází rozhodnutí napsat román situovaný do antického Říma. Během klasických studií na univerzitě v Bostonu usedala Kate Quinn večer co večer k rozepsanému příběhu, z nějž nakonec vznikl jeden z nejlepších historických románů posledních desetiletí s názvem Paní Říma.
