"A captivating Cold War page-turner." (Real Simple)

The New York Times best-selling author of The Summer Wives returns with a gripping and profoundly human story of Cold War espionage and family devotion.

In the autumn of 1948, Iris Digby vanishes from her London home with her American diplomat husband and their two children. The world is shocked by the family’s sensational disappearance. Were they eliminated by the Soviet intelligence service? Or have the Digbys defected to Moscow with a trove of the West’s most vital secrets?

Four years later, Ruth Macallister receives a postcard from the twin sister she hasn’t seen since their catastrophic parting in Rome in the summer of 1940, as war engulfed the continent and Iris fell desperately in love with an enigmatic United States Embassy official named Sasha Digby. Within days, Ruth is on her way to Moscow, posing as the wife of counterintelligence agent Sumner Fox in a precarious plot to extract the Digbys from behind the Iron Curtain.

But the complex truth behind Iris’s marriage defies Ruth’s understanding, and as the sisters race toward safety, a dogged Soviet KGB officer forces them to make a heartbreaking choice between two irreconcilable loyalties.

This book caused me to look up the Cambridge Five, and appreciate the clever fictional overlay by the author in Our Woman in Moscow. Loved it!

This really was a “page turner”! I loved the narrator and author before this book and was not disappointed. Kept my interest until the very end- which is not always the case even in great books.

Guessing until the end!

Fresh new take on the Spy thriller plot with wonderful character development, and moving family crises, in the US, in Europe, and in Russia. I was completely entertained by the narrators' versatility and consummate skill. The little romance there is, is not simple and fast, if that's your thing. I didn't see the end coming and I'm reasonably intelligent and well-read: I enjoyed every twist. For the first time ever I want to read about the Cambridge spies. But if I don't, I will be turning over this particular bit of history in my mind for a while. Thank you to the writer for (re-)creating this world so very very well!
