A well-researched and accessibly written case against the claim that Christianity and/or religion is the basis of our Constitutional government. An engaging and eye-opening read.

Pasternak, granddaughter of Boris Pasternak's sister, has written a heartrending account of the politically embroiled, rollercoaster love affair between the acclaimed Russian poet, Boris Pasternak, and the self-less woman, Olga Ivinskaya, who inspired the character of Lara in Pasternak's classic novel, Doctor Zhivago. Revealing artistic rivalries, political persecution, global intrigue, tangled relationships, and the influence of CIA and Stalin, among other crushing elements, this account of the illicit, star-crossed romance is as suspenseful and affecting as any fiction could be.

It's not only the story of one of the most influential Americans in history, but it is the chronicle of a city in decline, a fall from which New York City has yet to fully recover.
