Summary

2000: The wreckage of a downed WWII fighter plane is discovered in the forests near Russia's Ukrainian border. The aircraft belonged to Natalya Azarova, ace pilot and pin-up girl for Soviet propaganda, but the question of her fate remains unanswered. Was she a German spy who faked her own death, as the Kremlin claims? Her lover, Valentin Orlov, now a highly-decorated general, refuses to believe it. Lily, a young Australian woman, has moved to Moscow to escape from tragedy. She becomes fascinated by the story of Natalya, and when she meets an elderly woman who claims to know the truth behind the rumours, Lily is drawn deeper into the mystery.

Drove me mad. Couldn't finish it!

Why oh why has the author repeated whole chunks of narrative? It makes it too hard to follow the (very good) storyline. the first time I thought that I had inadvertently wound it back, but then it happened again and again. it got to the point that it was so annoying that I couldn't finish the book. I have read every other book by Belinda Alexander and she does not use this stupid trick anywhere else.
