See all formats and editions

A seductive, sensual and sinister love triangle set in 1930s America and inspired by the infamous Nabokov marriageZoya Andropova, a young Russian refugee, finds herself in an elite New Jersey boarding school.

Having lost her family, her home and her sense of purpose, Zoya struggles to belong, a task made more difficult by her new country's paranoia about Soviet spies.

When she meets charismatic fellow Russian emigre Leo Orlov - whose books Zoya has obsessed over for years - everything seems to change.

But she soon discovers that Leo is bound by the sinister orchestrations of his brilliant wife, Vera, and that their relationship is far more complex than Zoya could ever have imagined.
