Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Written by: Alka Joshi
Publisher's Summary
The New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code returns with an unforgettable World War II tale of a quiet librarian who becomes history’s deadliest female sniper. Based on a true story.
In the snowbound city of Kiev, wry and bookish history student Mila Pavlichenko organizes her life around her library job and her young son—but Hitler’s invasion of 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.

A Story well told about an amazing Woman
War is usually told through the eyes of men and women the romantic interest. This is a story about a real woman and who went on to make history as a sniper in the Russian army during WW2. A story well written and worth reading.
I think Saskia Maarleveld is a great reader.

Fascinating Historical Fiction
In the author's notes at the end of the book, the author reveals how true to life this story is. Fascinating subject matter taking place in the early 1940's in the USSR before the U.S.A. enters WWII. A true life account of a real female sniper and how it is done.
Well written and beautifully narrated. Easy to read. Love Kate Quinn and Saskia Maarleveld.

Truely Enchanting
I was truely engrossed in this story and commend the writer on the research and effort it took to turn this into such an enchanting novel. I read the Alice Network which was also spectacular writing. The storytelling voice was great and captured the feeling of each character.
I would recommend to most anyone interested in history or just some great drama, romance, and action. One of my favorites for sure!
