A Novel of World War II
by Lana Kortchik
From the bestselling author of Sisters of War comes a heart-wrenching novel of love, friendship, betrayal and sacrifice, perfect for fans of Mandy Robotham and Pam Jenoff.
October 1941: As war rages in the Soviet Union, Nina is devastated as she watches her younger brother being sent off to the front. She has witnessed so many soldiers go to war and never return, and with her father already on the battlefield, her brother is her only family left.
Sick of feeling helpless and determined to fight for her motherland, Nina and her best friend Katya decide to volunteer for the first female-only aviation regiment, led by the legendary pilot Marina Raskova.
But fighting a war is nothing like they expected, and soon the battle lines are no longer restricted to the front – a forbidden love begins to blossom, and Nina is faced with the ultimate betrayal. Will Nina and her loved ones make it out alive?
Sisters of the Sky is both an eye-opening account of the war's remarkable band of Soviet female pilots and a moving, drama-packed story of love, friendship, betrayal and sacrifice...Harnessing her extensive research, Kortchik's drama-packed story highlights the dedication and resolve of these women...A dazzling tribute to some of the unsung heroines of wartime." —Lancashire Post (UK)
