Great January book club meeting and discussion with the group this week, we read The Secrets We Kept, by @laraprescott #thesecretswekept #bookclub #blookclubofinstagram #readersofinstagram #supportyourlocallibrary #stlouispark #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CKYxrGbB-Vc/?igshid=15smepuoc4yne

I did the audiobook for The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott. It takes place during the height of the Cold War. The CIA wants to use a book - Dr. Zhivago - to win the hearts and minds of Soviet citizens. The story spends a lot of time with the girls in the typing pool - because they know everything. And sometimes they are recruited for other missions...in the field. The author also gives us Pasternak’s difficulties and danger in getting Dr. Zhivago published. A great story about friendship, survival, duty and love. Wish I had read this sooner. A great audiobook performance by Carlotta Brentan and Cynthia Farrell. I think you’ll want to add this to your list. #thesecretswekept #laraprescott #carlottabrennan #cynthiafarrell #coldwar #audiobook #libbyapp #historicalfiction #bookstagram #bookshelves #bookswithcharacter #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookreview #hardcover #bookcollector #bookhaul #bookspines #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #bookcollection https://www.instagram.com/p/CCLzrRfgOBE/?igshid=1oy7mrfirj9lb

I am currently reading The Secrets We Kept and a few sentences sent me off on a tangent. The content was about a writer musing about his content being no longer in his control once its published. How does an artist feel when a terrible person enjoys their work? If a painter paints a portrait and a serial killer says it’s his favorite, does the artist feel bad or good? #justathought #thesecretswekept #laraprescott https://www.instagram.com/p/B2uCj36F3kw/?igshid=1taswa7874hm5

#WeekendIndulgence : not keen on the up & down on the barometer but totally loving being able to sit outside to read 💛 Thanks to @penguinbooksaus for this copy of #TheSecretsWeKept -intriguing concept and am so glad I could say that I've read Dr Zhivago 😜 . About the book: TWO FEMALE SPIES. A BANNED MASTERPIECE. A BOOK THAT CHANGED HISTORY. 1956. A celebrated Russian author is writing a book, Doctor Zhivago, which could spark dissent in the Soviet Union. The Soviets, afraid of its subversive power, ban it. But in the rest of the world it’s fast becoming a sensation. In Washington DC, the CIA is planning to use the book to tip the Cold War in its favour. Their agents are not the usual spies, however. Two typists – the charming, experienced Sally and the talented novice Irina – are charged with the mission of a lifetime: to smuggle Doctor Zhivagoback into Russia by any means necessary. It will not be easy. There are people prepared to die for this book – and agents willing to kill for it. But they cannot fail – as this book has the power to change history. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2qHNgig-ub/?igshid=18wh0jw5hegcl
