520 A thrilling tale of secretaries turned spies, of love and
duty, and of sacrifice--inspired by the true story of the
CIA plot to infiltrate the hearts and minds of Soviet
Russia, not with propaganda, but with the greatest love
story of the twentieth century: Doctor Zhivago.
520 At the height of the Cold War, two secretaries are pulled
out of the typing pool at the CIA and given the assignment
of a lifetime. Their mission: to smuggle Doctor Zhivago
out of the USSR, where no one dare publish it, and help
Pasternak's magnum opus make its way into print around the
world. Glamorous and sophisticated Sally Forrester is a
seasoned spy who has honed her gift for deceit all over
the world--using her magnetism and charm to pry secrets
out of powerful men. Irina is a complete novice, and under
Sally's tutelage quickly learns how to blend in, make
drops, and invisibly ferry classified documents. The
Secrets We Kept combines a legendary literary love story--
the decades-long affair between Pasternak and his mistress
and muse, Olga Ivinskaya, who was sent to the Gulag and
inspired Zhivago's heroine, Lara--with a narrative about
two women empowered to lead lives of extraordinary
intrigue and risk. From Pasternak's country estate outside
Moscow to the brutalities of the Gulag, from Washington,
D.C. to Paris and Milan, The Secrets We Kept captures a
watershed moment in the history of literature--told with
soaring emotional intensity and captivating historical
detail. And at the center of this unforgettable debut is
the powerful belief that a piece of art can change the
world.
