Heidi Barrs asked this question about The Diamond Eye:
Towards the end of the book, after Mila has thwarted the assassination attempt, Eleanor's notes read: "There is still much work to be done tonight before I find my bed...but a Russian bullet has given me peace and safety to do it." We know that Mila used an American pistol, and presumably, American bullets to kill the would-be assassin. Did anyone else catch this? Is there another meaning to Eleanor's quote?
Kathy Murphy I think the “Russian Bullet” Eleanor Roosevelt is referring to is Mila herself.
