The Betrayers by David Bezmozgis

4.0

If you can get past the credibility-straining coincidences of the plot, this is a beautiful book that explores the gray areas of morality and ethics among Jews who survived the refusenik era of the Soviet Union. Baruch Kotler is an Israeli cabinet minister whose political rivals reveal his adulterous affair with a much-younger woman. The couple escape to Yalta and Kotler hopes to relive the magic of a childhood vacation, but instead he encounters the man who denounced him to Soviet authorities forty years earlier.
