The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott

There was a lot of distrust between America and the Soviet Union after the war was over and we were involved in a strange, dangerous tango. Part of that dance involved getting anti-communist materials into Russia and getting anything they had that was revolutionary back to us. This story is of the operation that was staged to get a powerful manuscript from a beloved Russian poet out of the country where it was banned and into reader's hands here and all over the world. The story was DR. ZHIVAGO and the men and women who helped make this happen posed as typists and second string government workers to not raise the alarm. This is a historical novel, a love story, and a spy story - both forbidden and dangerous and a debut that will stay with you. For fans of old school spy stories, The Americans and secrets everywhere.
