The Betrayal Update
In my last post I spoke about my current reading book, The Betrayal.
As I mentioned the book is a continuation of the first, The Siege. Now, The Siege takes place during the war, as it comes and goes, and The Betrayal is once the war was over. But still under the rein of Stalin, there are many lies yet to be uncovered.
Andrei is a doctor, he mostly works with children. One day, his colleague tells him about a new patient, a patients whose name, is one of those you don't need to repeat twice. The child is the only one of a very important family. Anna, Andrei's wife, also works at the children's section of the hospital, she is very busy, and she is mad, because their son, Koyla, is out, and seems to have no care in the world, yet she is not really mad at him, but rather at herself. She longs for spending more time with Andrei, and she feels as if she is being pulled in half by the two. She was offered to take another job, but she would have to have extra schooling hours, onto the long working hours. She does not know what way to go yet.
A Ball is approaching, both Andrei and Anna are looking forward, (and so am I!).
The book is simply genius, I love the way it is written, it is very hard to put down at times. I am exited to read on, and find out more about this mysterious patient, and the Ball which is soon to take place.
