"Anika Scott pens a fascinating tale of secrets, surveillance, and sisterhood set against the burgeoning Cold War. Two very different sisters come to shattered postwar Berlin--KGB doyenne Vera, fanatically committed to Stalin's vision, and interpreter Marya, embroiled in an affair with a British officer--and are pitted against each other in an espionage plot that will see one sister elevated and the other exiled in disgrace. But who is the real traitor, and who is hiding the biggest secret of all? The Soviet Sisters will suck you in to the very last page!" -- Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye "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 "Scott paints a world of 'moving shadows and listening ears, ' rife with secrets, spies, and forbidden loves.... Fans of Kate Quinn will be sure to enjoy the strong female characters in this historical-fiction spy novel." -- Booklist " The Soviet Sisters takes you on a journey of twisting espionage, unexpected betrayal, and the internal war between sisterhood and patriotism. Anika Scott has a gift for weaving incredibly researched historical detail into an emotionally powerful story that left me with tears in my eyes. Historical fiction fans will love this book!" -- Madeline Martin, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Bookshop in London "What a page-turner! The era and setting were very fresh, I learnt 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 "This is a masterful, brilliantly plotted novel. I was gripped from the first pages, never knowing which of the sisters' first-person narratives to trust or what would happen next. Cleverly playing on concepts of truth, ideology, and loyalty, the characters in The Soviet Sisters are put to ultimate tests of morality. Immaculately researched and eloquently written, Scott's novel provides the reader a very clear sense of the tension and political complexity of a tumultuous time. I thoroughly enjoyed it." -- Louise Fein, internationally bestselling author of The Hidden Child "Tantalizing and moving, The Soviet Sisters twists, contorts, and interweaves the lives and betrayals of two sisters forced to pit family and love against duty and truth. Epic in scope, forensic in detail, this is a beguiling and riveting story." -- Georgia Kauffman, bestselling author of The Dressmaker of Paris "Scott's magnetic debut follows one woman's quest for survival amid the devastation of post-WWII Germany... Scott's narrative is embellished with realistic depictions of rubble-filled German cities, scavenging residents, and moral questions about Clara's family ties to the Nazi regime. Fans of WWII fiction will be intrigued by Scott's exploration of how war changes the moral compass of its victims." -- Publishers Weekly "The kind of novel we need now more than ever... The German Heiress achieves what the best historical fiction can, asking us to see the past, and then pushing us to see ourselves in that past, demanding: Who would you have been then? What would you have done? Unflinching and absorbing, The German Heiress does not let you look away." -- Sarah Blake, New York Times bestselling author of T
