Iron Curtain

Autor Vesna Goldsworthy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 mar 2023
'A piercingly evocative East-West love story' The Times


This is a story of East and West. A story of love, betrayal, and lost illusions...

The end of the Cold War seems unimaginable for Milena, a Red Princess trapped in a lifetime of limitless luxury.

Yet when she meets Jason, a confident British poet, it's not long before she's secretly planning her escape to Britain.

1980s London defies her privileged expectations. And when she discovers Jason's concept of freedom confronts her deepest-held beliefs, the very ideas of family and state come into question...


'A wonderful, perfectly-pitched novel: full of delightful intrigue and wry insight about the human predicament and its unique tensions' William Boyd

'Witty, poignant and full of surprises - every detail of this cross-cultural story of love and disillusionment rings true' Clare Chambers

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

'A book so full of steel and compassion that it stands glitteringly apart' Rachel Cusk'A piercingly evocative East-West love story' The Times'Atmospheric and gloriously vivid' Guardian____________________Two worlds on the brink of change in a love story doomed to disasterMilena is a Red Princess living in a Soviet Satellite state in the 1980s. She enjoys limitless luxury and limited freedom; the end of the Cold War seems unimaginable. When she meets Jason, a confident British poet, Milena is appalled by his political naivety and his poor choice of footwear.

Still, they fall into bed together, and before long Milena is secretly planning to escape to Britain. 1980s London defies her privileged expectations. The rented flat is grim and the food is disgusting but she is with the man she loves and there are no hidden cameras to record her every move.

But then Milena discovers that Jason's idea of freedom hurts even more... With sharp wit and tender precision, Vesna Goldsworthy unpicks the failures of family and state. Iron Curtain is a sly, elegant human drama that challenges the myths we tell ourselves.
