![]() ![]() Their fates are all connected with the elusive thread that is Die Jägerin – The Huntress. British war correspondent Ian Graham turned Nazi hunter, Soviet pilot Nina Markova, once part of the all-female night bomber regiment, dubbed by the Nazis “The Night Witches” and Jordan McBride, growing up in Boston right after WWII, dreaming to be a photographer when everyone is expecting her to get married and settled, are three of the main characters, but above them looms another. ![]() The book intertwines three points of view and three time frames, which gradually merge into one. But the mixture of all three in a perfect balance makes The Huntress a remarkable historical novel. ![]() Not that Kate Quinn has not pulled that before – the impressive time frame is there in The Lady of The Eternal City (it encompasses the entire rule of emperor Hadrian), the plethora of controversial characters we have in The Lion and The Rose, and the absolute bravery and historical dexterity to tackle the painful memories of the world wars are what makes The Alice Network so compelling. The Huntress is as masterfully written as all the ones before, but it impressed me with its mere scope. I absolutely adore her Ancient Rome series, and her Borgia books are among my favorite Borgia books out there (and you might know I have read most of them!) I was also super impressed with The Alice Network – book review here. Kate Quinn is one of the few authors I follow religiously and her books have never disappointed me. ![]()
