Über das Buch
In the Soviet Union, a young woman must risk all in a daring bid for freedom …
Moscow, 1983. Twenty-one-year-old Ella dreams of playing Natasha Rostova in War and Peace at the Moscow Theatre Academy. But when she meets her good friend Vlad outside a city synagogue, Ella finds herself in the middle of a protest and attracts the glare of the KGB.
Labelled a traitor, she must withdraw from the academy and she soon yearns to escape the cruel and oppressive Soviet regime. However, her hopes of leaving the country are smashed when her husband, Roman, is sentenced to two years' labour camp.
As she looks for another way out, Ella is drawn into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a KGB general, who has the power to secure her freedom. Will she risk everything and leave behind those she loves to pursue a life in the West?
An absorbing, thrilling and heart-stopping Cold War drama, perfect for fans of The Spy's Wife, The Girl from Munich and The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
