'THE RED DAUGHTER is an intimate, intricate look a t the collision of geopolitics with a private life: surprising an d engaging from beginning to end' - Jennifer Egan'John Burnham Sc hwartz has drawn such a fine and generous portrait of Stalin's da ughter - a difficult, complicated, and deeply sympathetic woman - that I read his novel in a single great draught, and ever since have been worried about Svetlana as though she were a close and t roubled friend of mine. THE RED DAUGHTER is a lustrous book' - La uren GroffRunning from her father's brutal legacy, Joseph Stalin' s daughter defects to the United States during the turbulence of the 1960s. For fans of WE WERE THE LUCKY ONES and A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW, this sweeping historical novel and unexpected love story is inspired by the remarkable life of Svetlana Alliluyeva.In one of the most momentous events of the Cold War, Svetlana Alliluyeva , the only daughter of the Soviet despot Joseph Stalin, abruptly abandoned her life in Moscow in 1967, arriving in New York to thr ongs of reporters and a nation hungry to hear her story. By her s ide is Peter Horvath, a young lawyer sent by the CIA to smuggle S vetlana into America.She is a contradictory celebrity: charismati c and headstrong, lonely and haunted, excited and alienated by he r adopted country's radically different society. Persuading herse lf that all she yearns for is a simple American life, she attempt s to settle into a suburban existence in Princeton, New Jersey. B ut one day an invitation from the widow of the architect Frank Ll oyd Wright arrives, and Svetlana impulsively joins her cultlike c ommunity at Taliesin West. When this dream ends in disillusionmen t, Svetlana reaches out to Peter, the one person who understands how the chains of her past still hold her prisoner. Their relatio nship changes and deepens, moving from America to England to the Soviet Union and back again, unfolding under the eyes of her CIA minders, and Svetlana's and Peter's private lives are no longer t heir own.Novelist John Burnham Schwartz's father was in fact the young lawyer who escorted Svetlana Alliluyeva to the United State s. Drawing upon private papers and years of extensive research, S chwartz imaginatively re-creates the story of an extraordinary, t roubled woman's search for a new life and a place to belong, in t he powerful, evocative prose that has made him an acclaimed autho r of literary and historical fiction.
