OUR AMERICAN FRIEND - ANNA PITONIAK GEBUNDEN

A globe-spanning thriller of love and betrayal about a mysterious first lady with an explosive
secret. Paris  1974. Lara Orlov and her family arrive from Moscow at the height of the Cold War
thanks to her father’s position as a diplomat. The years pass  and Lara becomes more and more
enamored with the City of Lights. As a teenager in Paris  she falls deeply in love with a
fellow Russian expat: the passionate  intellectual Sasha  who opens her eyes to the ills of the
Soviet Union. Decades later and across the globe  journalist Sofie Morse is taking some
much-needed time off after several chaotic years covering Washington politics. But when she
gets a call from the office of First Lady Lara Caine  her curiosity is piqued. Sofie  like the
rest of the world  knows little about Lara—only that she was born in Soviet Russia and raised
in Paris before marrying Henry Caine  the brash future president. After decades of silence 
Lara is finally ready to speak candidly about her past: about her father’s work for the KGB and
about her ill-fated relationship with Sasha—which may be long in the past  but which could have
explosive ramifications for the future. As Sofie begins to write Lara’s biography  she can’t
help but wonder: Why is Lara revealing such sensitive information? And why now? Caught in a
dangerous game of cat-and-mouse  both Lara and Sofie must ask themselves what really
matters—and confront their own power to upend the global political order.
