Not what I expected, and I mean that in the best possible way. I figured this would be another typical (to me) historical fiction piece where I might follow along with what's going on and learn a few things but really the Cold War/KGB spy was a secondary storyline to Katarina and her struggles with marriage and motherhood. Even though the story takes place in the 40s, I empathized with Rina and felt for her. I did listen to this on audiobook and the narrator, Jennifer Jill Araya, was fantastic!
