thrilling tale of secretaries turned spies  of love and duty  and of sacrifice--inspired by the
true story of the CIA plot to infiltrate the hearts and minds of Soviet Russia  not with
propaganda  but with the greatest love story of the twentieth century: Doctor Zhivago. At the
height of the Cold War  two secretaries are pulled out of the typing pool at the CIA and given
the assignment of a lifetime. Their mission: to smuggle Doctor Zhivago out of the USSR  where
no one dare publish it  and help Pasternak's magnum opus make its way into print around the
world. Glamorous and sophisticated Sally Forrester is a seasoned spy who has honed her gift for
deceit all over the world--using her magnetism and charm to pry secrets out of powerful men.
Irina is a complete novice  and under Sally's tutelage quickly learns how to blend in  make
drops  and invisibly ferry classified documents. The Secrets We Kept combines a legendary
literary love story--the decades-long affair between Pasternak and his mistress and muse  Olga
Ivinskaya  who was sent to the Gulag and inspired Zhivago's heroine  Lara--with a narrative
about two women empowered to lead lives of extraordinary intrigue and risk. From Pasternak's
country estate outside Moscow to the brutalities of the Gulag  from Washington  D.C. to Paris
and Milan  The Secrets We Kept captures a watershed moment in the history of literature--told
with soaring emotional intensity and captivating historical detail. And at the center of this
unforgettable debut is the powerful belief that a piece of art can change the world.
