In my true story, A Rose for Sergei, I reveal a side of
Soviet defector Sergei Kourdakov that few people ever saw. Looking back all these years, I still think...did I really know what I was getting myself into.
I always appreciate it when readers take the time to leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads. Thank you, K.T. for the following Five-Star review on Amazon Canada—you did a great job summarizing my book. I'm honored by your kind words.
A Touching Memoir
“Had it been a work of fiction, A Rose for
Sergei would have been a really good read. That it is memoir makes it great.
The story is told in an easy, unadorned,
confident style that reels the reader in. A Rose for Sergei does a great job of invoking
the 70s—the cold war, the relative simplicity of life, the fact that a
17-year-old, fresh out of high school, could get a job with the government
(with clearances, no less).
At its core, it's a love story between two vastly
different individuals—a young government secretary and an equally young Russian
defector. One is innocent, just taking
her first steps into adulthood, while the other, an ex-KGB agent, is
considerably less so. Despite these
differences, they hit it off, and what ensues is a sweet romance. Unfortunately, bitter cold war realities lurk
in the shadows.”
Highly recommended. —K.T. McColl
