Our Woman in Moscow by Beatriz Williams
4.0

Sisters Ruth and Iris Macallister are in Rome when Hitler starts his roll across Europe. Ruth is ready to go home to New York, but Iris has fallen in love with Sasha Digby, an American embassy official. Sasha has bought the socialist philosophy hook line and sinker, and he becomes a double agent. The sisters don't speak for twelve years, until Ruth receives a letter from Iris, who is living with her family in Moscow. It's up to Ruth to help get her sister out. A really good story based loosely on the British spies Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean. I loved the story line. Characters very well developed. Hard to put down. A good read.
