No one looks twice at the women in the typing pool.
No one knows that two of them are trading secrets.
The secret is a book, the size of the one in your hands, and within its pages, a love story that could change the world.
But where there is love there is pain. And where there is deception, formidable danger...

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The sort of book we guarantee you’ll read and instantly recommend to at least 10 friends so you’ll have people to debate it with as soon as possible. An absurdly accomplished debut novel propelled by a bewildering level of research and detail, this is a Cold War spy story unlike nothing we’ve come across before. Two typists are given an extraordinary mission: to smuggle Boris Pasternak’s potentially divisive Doctor Zhivago back into Russia from the United States. Lara Prescott writes stylishly and arms her two heroines with true emotional depth and ample opportunity to prove their espionage abilities.
