‘If you enjoyed The Tattooist of Auschwitz, read The Huntress by Kate Quinn’ The Washington Post

‘Fascinating, brilliantly written, enthralling – just phenomenal’ Jill Mansell

*From the bestselling author of The Alice Network*

On the icy edge of Soviet Russia, bold and reckless Nina Markova joins the infamous Night Witches – an all-female bomber regiment. But when she is downed behind enemy lines, Nina must use all her wits to survive her encounter with a lethal Nazi murderess known as the Huntress.

British war correspondent Ian Graham abandons journalism to become a Nazi hunter, yet one target eludes him: the Huntress. And Nina Markova is the only witness to escape her alive.

In post-war Boston, seventeen-year-old Jordan McBride is increasingly disquieted by the soft-spoken German widow who becomes her new stepmother. Delving into her past, Jordan slowly realizes that a Nazi killer may be hiding in plain sight.

Shining a light on a shadowy corner of history, The Huntress is an epic, sweeping Second World War novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network.

Bellissimo libro|

Recensito in Italia il 30 gennaio 2020

Acquisto verificato

Kate Quinn è stata una piacevolissima sorpresa. Senza pretese letterarie ma con una scrittura scorrevole ed efficace, racconta una storia ispirata da avvenimenti realmente accaduti con patos ma anche con umorismo.
Ci si affeziona ai personaggio e si resta con il fiato sospeso fino alla fine.
Oltre al divertimento di una buona lettura, il libro è informativo su fatti poco noti, come ad esempio il ruolo delle donne sovietiche aviatrici nella seconda guerra mondiale e come già a pochi giorni dalla fine della guerra il perfido serpente della "Guerra fredda" fra Unione Sovietica e Occidente aveva già rizzato la testa.
Una lettura assolutamente da non perdere.

Just read it, you can thank me later

Recensito in Italia il 1 agosto 2021

They say once is chance, twice is coincidence and three times is a pattern. Well, the pattern I see with @katequinn is that she is a phenomenal storyteller and after reading "The Rose Code", "The Alice Network" and now "The Huntress" she is on my auto-buy list!

Another beautifully written piece of history turned into fiction!

This is the story of British war reporter Ian Graham and his workmate Tony Rodomovsky who become Nazi hunters after the war and team up with former Soviet fighter pilot Nina to track down "The Huntress", the former mistress of a Nazi officer, who is alleged to have committed heinous war crimes.

Their hunt takes them across the Atlantic to a fabulously depicted 1950s Boston, where we meet another wonderful character, Jordan, a young girl and aspiring photographer who has just met her new German-speaking stepmother. 👀

Once again, as in most of Quinn’s books, we are swept from one vivid timeline to another as we slowly discover how Nina managed to join the all-female 588th Night Bomber Regiment "Night Witches", how she met the Huntress during the war and why she is so hell-bent on slitting the woman’s throat.

This was a masterfully woven story with characters that will stick with you for a long time. I lapped up every sentence, every chunk of history class that Quinn offers us so generously and I still couldn't get enough. The research that goes into her books is astounding and I love discovering all of these strong women who have given their contribution, if not their lives, to their country!

When you read the last page of this book, you can't help but feel a great sense of loss. Like saying goodbye to some special friends you will probably never see again!

A big thank you to my ‘sestra’ buddy readers for making this read even more enjoyable. I loved reading everyone's ideas and assumptions! Can't wait for her next book to come out in March!

Absolutely brilliant!

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 30 maggio 2019

Absolutely loved this book. I didn't think that it were possible for me to enjoy this more than "The Alice Network". How wrong I was.

It had me totally engrossed from page one. I'm definitely more interested in reading more about "the night witches", such brave and courageous women they were. A compelling story, very cleverly written and with such a captivating plot. Nina was definitely my favourite character.

Looking forward to reading more from Kate Quinn, she has such a knack of captivating you and drawing you in. It's unputdownable. I would highly recommend reading.

One Hell of Novel

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 11 novembre 2019

Acquisto verificato

Nazi hunters team up with a former bomber pilot to bring a killer known as the Huntress to justice.

In postwar Europe, Ian, a British war correspondent with a vendetta, and his American sidekick, Tony, have set up a shoestring operation to catch the war criminals who seem to be not just slipping, but swarming through the cracks. The same set of circumstances that led Ian to enter a marriage of convenience with Nina, a Siberian former bomber pilot, has also given both common cause: to chase down Lorelei Vogt, a Nazi known as the Huntress, who, by her lakeside lair in Poland, trapped and killed refugees, many of them children. Lorelei’s mother, blandished by Tony, reveals that her daughter immigrated to Boston. Meanwhile, Jordan, an aspiring photographer living in Boston with her widowed antiques-dealer father, Dan, welcomes a new stepmother, Austrian refugee Anneliese, and her 4-year-old daughter, Ruth. Jordan soon grows suspicious of Dan’s new bride: A candid shot captures Anneliese’s furtive “cruel” glance—and there’s that swastika charm hidden in her wedding bouquet. However, Anneliese manages to quell Jordan’s suspicions by confessing part of the truth: that Ruth is not really her daughter but a war orphan. That Jordan’s suspicions are so easily allayed strains credulity, especially since the reader is almost immediately aware that Anneliese is the Huntress in disguise. The suspense lies in how long it’s going to take Ian and company to track her down and what the impact will be on Jordan and Ruth when they do. Well-researched and vivid segments are interspersed detailing Nina’s backstory as one of Russia’s sizable force of female combat pilots (dubbed The Night Witches by the Germans), establishing her as a fierce yet vulnerable antecedent to Lisbeth Salander. Quinn’s language is evocative of the period, and her characters are good literary company.

With any luck, the Nazi hunting will go on for a sequel or two.

The Sociopath and the Mad Woman

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 30 maggio 2020

Acquisto verificato

Well what a good read that was. A little long in places and I got a bit bored with the whole Jordan / Garrett affair, but Nina is brilliant. If they ever make this into a film Nina must, without a doubt, be played by Jodie Comer (Villanelle from Killing Eve).

Nina is unpredictable, volatile and capable of remaining alive even in the most demanding of circumstances. A Rusalka, a night-witch, a Rusalka-bitch, a lake spirit …. Nina is all of these, and to witness her running at you, half-naked, covered in blood with her father’s razor in her hand would be quite daunting.

SPOILER ALERT

Anneliese, Anna, Die Jägerin, the Huntress, or whichever name she uses is the absolute personification of a sociopath. When accused by Jordan of being a Nazi, and of not being Ruth’s mother, most people in that situation would be flinching or recoiling – maybe bursting into laughter or tears, but not Anneliese. Her blue eyes don’t even widen a fraction of an inch. “Goodness,” she says, “Where has all this come from?” which is exactly how a sociopath would react. Catch a sociopath or a psychopath in a lie – catch them with a smoking gun – and they are completely unfazed. They will immediately bounce half a dozen more lies back at you …. AND while they’re at it they’ll accuse you of killing the guy on the floor. And even if it’s proved the sociopath killed him, they’ll still blame you for it. It will somehow be all your fault.

Jordan lays down proof that Anneliese is a Nazi, and the look she gives Jordan causes Jordan’s heart to bang off her ribs in a sudden surge of fear as she realises just how dangerous this fragile, pretty woman is. But Jordan keeps pushing until Anneliese is shaking with sobs. The sociopath can turn on the tears any time she wants if she thinks it will get her what she wants.

And then again at the end of the book – FURTHER SPOILER ALERT – Anna justifies murdering children by complaining that “People are such hanging judges over some things ……. My life is the sum of many moments. Why do some moments outweigh all the other, better moments?” and goes on to whinge about being punished for murdering six children in cold blood, justifying it to herself and complaining about how much she’s lost, which is all typical sociopath behaviour. A sociopath will always find ways to justify her crimes because in own head she believes it’s true.

Sociopaths seduce and ingratiate themselves with the people around them for their own gain. They are dishonest and deceitful and are extremely comfortable when lying to get their own way, or to get themselves out of trouble. And they don’t possess a conscience, none at all. They’re just not wired that way. Anna has no feelings of guilt or remorse no matter what she does, no limiting sense of concern. But she does have an intuitive sense of Jordan’s vulnerabilities and she uses this knowledge to manipulate her.

And boy can she keep her cool. Anna can stay serene in even the most absurd circumstances.

Solid respect to Kate Quinn for creating two excellent true-to-life characters and pitting them against each other. Absolutely recommended.

Roses are Amber

A well researched story that features the role of women in World War Two.

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 17 novembre 2019

Acquisto verificato

The Huntress is a triple timeline historical fiction set during and just after World War Two; it features an English journalist on the trail of Nazi war criminals, a Russian bomber pilot always looking towards the west and a woman who wants to stop running.

Nina grew up on the harsh shores of Lake Baikal in Siberia, surrounded by tales of evil lake witches. Her one desire is to become a pilot; when Russia enters the Second World War she gets her wish. Nina becomes part of the Night Witches, Stalin’s female bomber pilots who helped drive back the Germans.

By 1950, Nina is living in the West and married to English journalist and Nazi hunter Ian Graham. Together with his partner Tony they head to America in search of The Huntress, a cold blooded murderer who killed children. The hunter now becomes the hunted.

I read this book in just two days becoming fully immersed in the three tales as they wove together. I was fascinated by Nina’s story, especially when she was a pilot. I liked the part she played in all three timelines with her severe Russian upbringing and attitude which even brought moments of delightful lighter humour.

All three timelines were equally compelling, so I was never disappointed when chapters switched back and forth.

Would I recommend this? Definitely for those who enjoy well researched stories that feature the role of women in World War Two.

Cleverly structured novel which gives a great reading experience

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 28 maggio 2020

Acquisto verificato

This is a wartime story with some powerful characters and lives that interconnect. This is a perfect book for a lock down read.
At well over 500 pages with 59 chapters and a small font this is a hefty novel so I was hoping that it was compelling.
There are three main characters whose stories are based during and just after the Second World War. It is clear from the start how they link together and there is a hopeful inevitability about how the plot will progress. The hopefulness is matched by the tension supplied by each difficult step along the way.
The characters are great and are gradually developed which gives them great depth and plausibility. I didn't have any reason to question any of their actions at any point which is a sign of an enjoyable novel.
There is no doubt that the reader becomes invested in each of the three and we are gradually encouraged to want the subject of the hunt to be caught as we never hear directly from her. Pieces of the puzzle are linked together and I held my breath in some chapters as the hunters get closer and closer.
There is also a brilliant ending followed by a very comprehensive Author's Note which is much appreciated.
