Sisters Vera and Marya were brought up as good Soviets:
obedient despite hardships of poverty and tragedy, committed
to communist ideals, and loyal to Stalin. Several years
after fighting on the Eastern front, both women find
themselves deep in the mire of conflicts shaping a new world
order in 1947 Berlin. When Marya, an interpreter, gets
entangled in Vera’s cryptic web of deceit and
betrayal, she must make desperate choices to
survive—and protect those she loves.
Nine years later, Marya is a prisoner in a Siberian work
camp when Vera, a doyenne of the KGB, has cause to reopen
her case file and investigate the facts behind her sister's
conviction all those years ago in Berlin. As Vera retraces
the steps that brought them both to that pivotal moment in
1947, she unravels unexpected truths and discoveries that
call into question the very history the Soviets were working
hard to cover up.
