General Analysis of the Book

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Secrets We Kept” by Lara Prescott is a gripping historical novel set during the Cold War, centered around the covert operation to smuggle Boris Pasternak’s banned novel Doctor Zhivago out of the Soviet Union. The story follows a group of women working as typists in the CIA who become deeply involved in espionage to ensure the manuscript reaches the West. Themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the personal cost of espionage are explored, as the characters navigate the emotional and moral complexities of defying an oppressive regime. The novel examines the intersection of politics, art, and personal sacrifice.
