Katya Ivanova wants to be a pilot, more than anything. The year is 1941, and her beloved Russia is at war. While in pilot training, she meets and falls in love with a pilot, a sensitive and artistic man. Though he believes in Katya's abilities and supports her flying, he also wants to keep her safe. But war is not safe. Yet, Katya bravely does her part for the war effort, along with her "sister" pilots. It is exacting work and requires sacrifice in health, comfort and life itself.
Since WWII is one of my reading interests, I wanted to read this book. It did not captivate me, immediately. As I read, however, I became involved in the lives of the characters, and ended up being emotionally invested in this book. It turned out to be a very good read. One of those books requiring me to reach for my box of tissues several times.
