Description: In 1947 Berlin, two spy sisters become embroiled in the burgeoning Cold War in this gripping new novel from the author of the international bestseller The German Heiress. Berlin, 1947. Vera and Marya were raised to be good Soviets: obedient despite personal hardship, committed to communist ideals and to Stalin. Having seen combat on the Eastern front, both women now find themselves mired in the covert post-war conflicts that are shaping a new world order. When Marya, an interpreter, becomes entangled in KBG agent Vera's complex web of deceit, she must make desperate choices to survive - and to protect those she loves. Nine years later, called before a Communist Party committee to revisit the pivotal moment that led to her sister's internment in a Siberian work camp, Vera unravels shocking truths. With an epic backdrop, dexterous plotting and a talent for teasing out moral ambiguity, Anika Scott weaves a nail-biting story of espionage, triple bluffs and loyalty - or otherwise - to family or fatherland. AUTHOR: Anika Scott was a journalist at the Philadelphia Inquirer and Chicago Tribune before moving to Germany, where she now lives in Essen with her husband and two daughters. She has worked in radio, taught degree-level courses in journalism, and written for European and American publications. The Soviet Sisters is her second novel.
