Lara Orlov and her family arrive from Moscow at the height of the Cold War, thanks to her father's position as a diplomat. The years pass, and Lara becomes more and more enamored with the City of Lights. As a teenager in Paris, she falls deeply in love with a fellow Russian expat: the passionate, intellectual Sasha, who opens her eyes to the ills of the Soviet Union. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDecades later and across the globe, journalist Sofie Morse is taking some much-needed time off after several chaotic years covering Washington politics. But when she gets a call from the office of First Lady Lara Caine, her curiosity is piqued. Sofie, like the rest of the world, knows little about Lara--only that she was born in Soviet Russia and raised in Paris before marrying Henry Caine, the brash future president. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter decades of silence, Lara is finally ready to speak candidly about her past: about her father's work for the KGB and about her ill-fated relationship with Sasha--which may be long in the past, but which could have explosive ramifications for the future. As Sofie begins to write Lara's biography, she can't help but wonder: Why is Lara revealing such sensitive information? And why now? Caught in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse, both Lara and Sofie must ask themselves what really matters--and confront their own power to upend the global political order.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45161487728791,"sku":"9781982158965","price":1309.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781982158965.webp?v=1768569974","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/our-american-friend-9781982158965","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
