Mila and any female counterpart watch one another's backs until strong relationships with the men around them can be formed. It is clear that women in the army are at risk, not only from the enemy, whose female-specific tortures are made clear, but from men in their own ranks. The narrative concentrates on Mila's experiences as a woman. Mila seems to be able to switch off one personality (mother, student) in order to channel her other persona: calm, efficient, skilled – a killer. There are many moments in her initial training when her predominantly male counterparts doubt her, and she is forced to prove herself through action. When Nazi forces advance into Russia, Mila joins the Red Army, knowing that her skills are essential. Included in Mila's skill set is an ability to shoot, and she trains for and receives her advanced certificate in a bid to be both mother and father to little Slavka. Married and a mother at 15, Mila is separated and seeking a divorce from her overbearing husband, whose only wish seems to be to control and undermine her. We first meet Mila as a student of history, either working on her studies in Kiev's library, or at a lathe to earn money to support her small son. With 309 confirmed kills by the end of her war, Mila earned the nickname Lady Death. This novel is based on the real-life story of Lyudmila Pavlichenko, one of the Red Army's most lethal snipers of World War II.
