The Secrets We Kept
The sensational Cold War spy thriller
By Lara Prescott
Harry Hartog's review
A superbly told complex story of two female spies tasked with obtaining the manuscript of Russian author Boris Pasternak's masterpiece, 'Dr Zhivago' and smuggling it out of Russia, as it will most certainly not be published there. Moving between the East and the West, there are dangerous missions and wonderful love stories. So well researched and dramatically written. - Bibi, Bookseller
Description
A wonderful, revelatory, unforgettable read about passion, friendship, hidden heroes, and the power of the written word to change the world.

No one looks twice at the women in the typing pool.
No one knows that two of them are trading secrets.
The secret is a book, the size of the one in your hands, and within its pages, a love story that could change the world.
But where there is love there is pain. And where there is deception, formidable danger...
