Thank you @netgalley for the advanced digital copy.
Shelly Sanders' forthcoming novel, The Night Sparrow, is a compelling portrayal of resilience and courage. Set against the backdrop of World War II, it follows Elena Bruskina, a Jewish university student from Minsk, whose life is shattered by Nazi atrocities.
Driven by a desire for vengeance, Elena joins the Red Army's Central Women's Sniper Training School, becoming part of an all-female sniper platoon.
Sanders masterfully depicts Elena's transformation from grief-stricken survivor to determined warrior, highlighting the strength of female camaraderie amid the horrors of war.
This gripping narrative not only honors the real-life contributions of Soviet female snipers but also offers an intimate look into one woman's fight against tyranny.
A must-read for lovers of historical fiction.
