Sapphire Skies

I very much enjoyed Sapphire Skies by Belinda Alexandra which is set in Moscow during WWII and in 2000.  An Australian woman, Lily, daughter of Russian parents moves to Moscow to work.  Meanwhile war veteran, Valentin Orlov, has never stopped searching for his beloved Natasha who was a WWII pilot shot down during the War.  Her plane is found and later remains of a woman identified as Natasha.  A lot of the story is set during the War where the reader learns of the dangers of being too close to Stalin.  Lily befriends an elderly woman she meets on her way to work and Lily is intrigued by her as she tells her story.  This is a love story told against the background of WWII and its aftermath.  There are a few twists and the author seems to have done her research well. 4/5
