Acerca de esta escucha

In the thick of the Cold War, a betrayal at the highest level risks the lives of two courageous female spies: MI6’s best Soviet agent and the CIA’s newest Moscow recruit.

Vienna, 1954

After losing everyone she loves in the final days of World War II, Ingrid Bauer agrees to a hasty marriage with a gentle Soviet embassy worker and follows him home to Moscow. But nothing within the Soviet Union’s totalitarian regime is what it seems, including her new husband, whom Ingrid suspects works for the KGB. Inspired by her daughter’s birth, Ingrid risks everything and reaches out in hope to the one country she understands and trusts—Britain, the country of her mother’s birth. She begins passing intelligence to MI6, navigating a world of secrets and lies, light and shadow.

Moscow, 1980

A student in the Foreign Studies Initiative, Anya Kadinova finishes her degree at Georgetown University and boards a flight home to Moscow, leaving behind the man she loves and a country she’s grown to respect. Though raised by dedicated and loyal Soviet parents, Anya soon questions an increasingly oppressive and paranoid regime at the height of the Cold War. Then the KGB murders her best friend and Anya chooses her side. Working in a military research lab, she relays Soviet plans and schematics to the CIA in an effort to end the 1980s arms race.

The past catches up to the present when an unprecedented act of treachery threatens all agents operating within Eastern Europe, and both Ingrid and Anya find themselves in a race for their lives against time and the KGB.

“Eloquently portrays the incredible contributions of women in history, the extraordinary depths of love, and, perhaps most important, the true cost of freedom.” —Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Veil

Brava! Well done!

This is a terrific historical fiction and a spy novel, and perhaps not your typical movie-type all-action spy novel. It was very realistic. The narrators were terrific also. Definitely keeps your attention and she really captures Moscow. I was there in 1991. Author does a great job of going between two time periods, two main characters, and then connecting them.

Amazing story.

Author clearly did a lot of research. Excellent history of those Cold war years. Philosophies of Soviet and American cultures very interesting. Good narration.

Fascinating!

Really enjoyed this one. Appreciated the dual narrators to keep the two time frames clear while listening

Women Spies during the Cold Qar

Totally excellent! If you want to understand more about the Soviet Union during Krushev or Breshnev this will help!

Powerful

A Shadow in Moscow blew me away. It opened my eyes to a not-so-long ago world that I really hadn't understood. The details she included to paint the Soviet reality during the Cold War left me in tears to realize how many freedoms I have enjoyed without even thinking about. The characters were expertly cast to show a variety of roles and viewpoints in a complicated time. I love this novel because it doesn't just move from action to action, but allows room for the characters--and hence, the reader--to explore and contemplate freedom and limits, the joy and burden of choices, and how far one might go to conform before reaching a line one will not cross. A Shadow in Moscow is redemptive, thoughtful, and powerful. I highly recommend it for fans of historical fiction.
The narration was brilliant.

It was slow starting

I put it down once but second time I binge listened. The story was engaging about a time I lived thru, so many things the public as so naive about. Was very well done, narrators were very good. Recommend

Great Russian spy story focused on women

Implausible but enjoyable plot. Talented narrator. Gets complicated toward the end with the addition of more and more characters.
