The Secrets We Kept

The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott

This is an historical spy novel set in the 1950's during the cold war.  It's a multi-voiced story involving CIA secretaries and Boris Pasternak, a Russian author and his mistress.

An interesting story told from multiple perspectives centered around the novel of Doctor Zhivago.  This book is based on the true revelation that the CIA was instrumental in getting Doctor Zhivago published, in order to spread the message about life in the Soviet Union.

I enjoyed listening to this book, it has multiple narrators, different voices for each character, which makes the story come alive. You can find this book online as an ebook or audiobook, and in the adult fiction section of the library.
