Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Their wings were weak, their talons broken…yet they flew the Soviets into winning the war against the Nazis. They were ignored, laughed at, and forced to do chores beneath their ranks. Why? They were the "weaker" gender. Despite being capable, they were initially denied entry into combat. And when they did enlist, their treatment only worsened: They were assigned worn-out uniforms and left to the mercy of rusted equipment on the battlefield. These adversities didn’t stop the Soviet female fighters from going ahead and showing unprecedented excellence in warfare.

On a winter day north of the Arctic Circle, nine-year-old Elsa—daughter of Sámi reindeer herders—sees a man brutally kill her beloved reindeer calf and threaten her into silence. When her father takes her to report the crime, local police tell them that there is nothing they can do about these “stolen” animals. Killings like these are classified as theft in the reports that continue to pile up, uninvestigated. But reindeer are not just the Sámi’s livelihood, they also hold spiritual significance; attacking a reindeer is an attack on the culture itself.

When Henry Forester is shot down during a bombing run over France, the World War II pilot finds himself trapped behind enemy lines. In constant danger of discovery by German soldiers, Henry begins a remarkable journey to freedom.

Four days before Christmas in 1943, a badly damaged American bomber struggled to fly over wartime Germany. At its controls was a 21-year-old pilot. Half his crew lay wounded or dead. It was their first mission. Suddenly a sleek, dark shape pulled up on the bomber’s tail - a German Messerschmitt fighter. Worse, the German pilot was an ace, a man able to destroy the American bomber with the squeeze of a trigger.

Amazing story of Russian women and their role in WWII
Well written and well presented.
I first heard of the women who played an important part in WWII last year when my group read Huntress by Quinn. That’s when I started searching for more.
Ms Lasky has long been a favorite author, so I chose her book. It was a good decision.
She provides characters who are believable and they provide a better idea of the people of Russia and what they endured during the war.
You come away with real respect for women and how far they will go to defend their homeland. These women were real heroes, especially since they had to fight so much more than just the German military machine.

Maybe for adolescents
So disappointing. In the beginning I kept hoping it would develop and to some extent it did. But it was very adolescent in the telling. At the end the story went completely off the rails and hang somewhere in space with unanswered questions . In fact in the one scene I think she stole the idea from Stephen King in one of his books about a writer who is kept prisoner by a woman. In fact I was expecting something like that to happen and the rescue was even more unbelievable. And the ending....like the school books where the underdog comes out on top.
