“The Huntress” by Kate Quinn

Calling all “Alice Network” fans!! Kate Quinn has done it again. This multi-POV story seamlessly weaves three narrators and two timelines together to create one of the best historical fiction books I’ve read this year. Nina’s storyline takes place during the height of World War II as she fights alongside the other Night Witches as a pilot with the Russian Army. Having survived a brutal childhood by the lake, Nina finds her true calling in life up in the sky. Ian & Jordan’s perspectives both take place post-war. Ian, a British former journalist, is searching for a Nazi known only as die jägerin hoping to bring her to justice for brutal crimes she committed during the war, one in particular Ian carries close to his heart. The Huntress has evaded Ian and his partner Tony for years but could this new lead be the one they have been waiting for? Jordan is an all-American girl living in Boston who has dreamt of being a photographer for as long as she can remember. Her widowed father has recently fallen in love with an immigrant woman with a young daughter. After witnessing a few strange moments, Jordan now has serious suspicions about the true identity of her new step-mother. At 560 pages, this isn’t a quick read and some chapters are slower moving but when Quinn’s characters eventually cross paths you will not be able to put “The Huntress” down.
