Description

Globally-acclaimed writer Helen Dunmore uses her best-selling book, The Siege, using a captivating and emotionally absorbing face of post-war Soviet Russia, an environment of hatred and horror, where in actuality the severest acts of infidelity may come from the absolute most reliable allies.In 1952 Leningrad, Andrei, a physician, and Anna, a nursery school teacher, are forging a living together in the post-war, post-siege debris. However they understand their joy is risky, like this of an incredible number of Russians who should steer clear of the paws of Stalin’s cruel Ministry of State Security. When Andrei is compelled to deal with the critically sick child of the mature key officer, his every move is scrutinized, and it becomes painfully obvious that their own destiny, and that of his household, will the child’s. Caught within an impossible game of life and death, and pitted against an electrical-crazy father’s flaming suffering, Andrei and Anna should steer clear of the whispers and careful eyes of these who'll say or do something to truly save themselves.With The Infidelity, Dunmore returns with a strong and stirring book of regular people in the grip of a dreadful and menacing regimen, and an evocative story of the love that won't be silenced.
