Description
In 1942, as the Soviet Union faced invasion, a squadron of young women, many no older than twenty, were thrust into the skies. Armed with obsolete planes, they were commanded by the legendary Marina Raskova. These pilots, who would cut their engines to glide silently over enemy encampments on missions requiring nerves of steel, became known to the terrified Germans as the Nachthexen, the Night Witches. This is the story of Katya Makarova, downed over France and facing capture. Saved by a Frenchman, their love story is tested as they navigate a post-war world of Soviet red tape, lies, and deception, attempting to find each other again.
