From bestselling author of The German Heiress, a gripping new historical novel filled with secrets, lies, and betrayals, following two spy sisters during the Cold War.

"Anika Scott pens a fascinating tale of secrets, surveillance, and sisterhood.... The Soviet Sisters will suck you in to the very last page!" â??Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye

"Electrifying, meticulously researched, and expertly plotted, The Soviet Sisters is at once a Cold War thriller, a gripping spy story, a page-turning mystery, and a familial drama." â??Lara Prescott, New York Times bestselling author

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. ( )
