From New & Noteworthy Fiction. Two smart women from the CIA typing pool are chosen to become spies and go on a mission to obtain the manuscript of Doctor Zhivago for publication in the West. A remarkable debut inspired by a true story.

The story takes place in the United States and USSR during the cold war. The characters were well developed and I liked the authors writing style. If you like spy fiction, check this one out!
