Summary

Two sisters become embroiled in the burgeoning Cold War in this spellbinding novel of espionage, secrets and betrayals

Berlin, 1947: good Soviets Vera and Marya find themselves mired in the covert post-war conflicts that are shaping a new world order. When Marya, an interpreter liaising with the British, gets caught in secret agent Vera's web of deceit, she must make desperate choices to survive—and to protect those she loves. Nine years later, as the Soviets confront their Stalinist past, Vera revisits that pivotal moment, unravelling shocking truths about her sister and herself. Against an epic backdrop, Anika Scott weaves a nail-biting, morally complex story of double-triple bluff and loyalty—or otherwise—to family or motherland.

Critic reviews

"Electrifying, meticulously researched and expertly plotted, The Soviet Sisters is at once a Cold War thriller, a gripping spy story, a page-turning mystery and a familial drama." (Lara Prescott, New York Times-bestselling author of The Secrets We Kept)

"What a page-turner! The era and setting were very fresh, I learned so much and I loved being taken around post-war Berlin. East and West, love and hate—this story gives beautiful insight into the opposites that can make or break a sisters' bond. Compelling." (Mandy Robotham, USA Today-bestselling author of The Berlin Girl and The Girl Behind the Wall)

Betrayal great and small

The (at times overly) complicated story of two sisters and their relationship with each other and the Soviet State. Everyone or no one is spying and betraying or protecting everyone else. There were moments I thought it was going on a bit but I found my self so invested in the stories and characters that I still really enjoyed it.
