9 posts | 6 read | 12 to read
A suspenseful historical YA debut inspired by the true story of an all-female bomber unit in Russia during World War II. World War II has erupted in Valkas homeland of Russia, and Valka is determined to help the effort. Shes a pilotand a good oneso she eagerly joins an all-female bomber regiment. Flying has always meant freedom and exhilaration for Valka, but dropping bombs on German targets is something else entirely. The raids are dangerous, but as Valka watches her fellow pilots putting everything on the line in the face of treachery, she learns the true meaning of bravery. As the war intensifies, though, and those around her fall, Valka must decide how much she is willing to risk to defend the skies she once called home. Inspired by the true story of a famous all-female Russian bomber regiment, Gwen C. Katz weaves a tale of strength and sacrifice, of learning to fight for yourself, and of the perils of a world at war.

Though it's YA, this is a book anyone interested in WWII should read. Inspired by the Russian female bomber pilots the Germans called the Nachthexen(the Night Witches), this book educated me about a part of the war that I knew nothing about. It has solid historical roots and accuracy and deviation from fact is acknowledged by the author in the Author's Notes at the end of the book. It is also human, feminist, anti-war and very character driven.

The night witches are one of my favorite historical things (people? stories?) so I hope this is good.

This beauty is the only non-BOTM book I‘m allowing myself to buy without a bingo. I pre-ordered it months ago. It fits right along with the Russia kick I‘ve been on for a while. I‘m so excited.

I received a signed bookplate in the mail from Gwen Katz today! Too bad I still have a month before the book comes out. 😢 I do love anything with female pilots in WW2...
