This novel is the compelling tale of two sisters - Marya and Vera - in post-WWII Germany and the Soviet Union. Raised in the USSR, they both serve their country, but in different ways: Marya is an interpreter working with the Soviet military and Vera works for the secret police. When Marya starts a romantic relationship with a British officer, Vera warns her that what she's doing is dangerous, with consequences that will haunt the sisters for years to come. Overall, this novel was very compelling and kept me guessing throughout, as at least one sister is a somewhat unreliable narrator. Highly recommended for anyone interested in fiction set in the Soviet era. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Epic and intimate, layered and complex, The Soviet Sisters is a gripping story of spies, blackmail, and double, triple bluff. With her dexterous plotting and talent for teasing out moral ambiguity, Anika Scott expertly portrays a story about love, conflicting world views, and loyalty and betrayal between sist Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
