Description
The Red Daughter A Novel by John Burnham Schwartz is a deeply sympathetic portrait of Svetlana Alliluyeva, the only daughter of Soviet despot Joseph Stalin. In 1967, she made headlines with her sudden departure from Moscow and arrival in New York, where she was met by throngs of reporters and a nation eager to hear her story. Svetlana's life is marked by contradictions: charisma and headstrongness, loneliness and hauntings, excitement and alienation. As she attempts to settle into a suburban existence in New Jersey, her dream of a simple American life ends in disillusionment. It is only when she reaches out to Peter Horvath, the young lawyer who smuggled her into America, that Svetlana begins to confront the chains of her past. Drawing on private papers and extensive research, John Burnham Schwartz re-creates the story of an extraordinary woman's search for a new life and a place to belong.
