Opis: Iron Curtain - Vesna Goldsworthy
'A book so full of steel and compassion that it stands glitteringly
apart' Rachel Cusk
Two worlds on the brink of change in a love story doomed to disaster
Milena is a Red Princess living in a Soviet Satellite state in the
1980s. She enjoys limitless luxury and limited freedom; the end of the
Cold War seems unimaginable.
When she meets Jason, a confident British poet, Milena is appalled by
his political naivety and his poor choice of footwear. Still, they fall
into bed together, and before long Milena is secretly planning to escape
to Britain.
1980s London defies her privileged expectations. The rented flat is grim
and the food is disgusting but she is with the man she loves and there
are no hidden cameras to record her every move. But then Milena
discovers that Jason's idea of freedom hurts even more...
With sharp wit and tender precision, Vesna Goldsworthy unpicks the
failures of family and state. Iron Curtain is a sly, elegant human drama
that challenges the myths we tell ourselves.
'A wonderful, perfectly-pitched novel: full of delightful intrigue and
wry insight about the human predicament and its unique tensions' William
Boyd
