This seductive novel intertwines two gripping narratives. One, set in the USSR, follows Boris Pasternak's composition of Doctor Zhivago and the tragic love affair that inspired the classic's hero and heroine. The second unfolds in Washington, DC, as women in the typing pool at a CIA agency engage in Cold War espionage. Filled with heady intrigue and intense romance—and infused with appreciation for the power of great literature—this is a perfect thriller for bibliophiles!
