Sinopsis

TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT:áNarrative that is direct, candid, unpretentious. A member of a highly privileged caste in Soviet society&hellip, reduced to a &lsquo,mozho&rsquo, girl mixing with foreigners, with instructions to report on them&hellip, the real story is in the simple, graphic and almost entirely persuasive account of her observations &ndash, some amusing and others horribly or pitifully gruesome.In the unforgiving WWII climate of 1940, 21-year old Nora is faced with a perilous ultimatum: Enlist with Stalin&rsquo,sásecret policeáas a honey trap, or face the death of her family. Despairingly she agrees.ááNora finds herself struggling to seduce her target, John Murray, a British Embassy cypher in Moscow.As two disparate lives intertwine, their desperate escape leads the coupleáthrough frozen Arcticáwastelands, clutching forged papers and hopes not just for survival but for a future together.
