Unforgiving Years
Victor SergeT. GreerI read his novel Unforgiving Years a few years back and was very struck by it—especially the section that follows a Comintern agent in France around who is starting to doubt the faith but is still undercover. The Berlin ‘45 scene with the American journalist also sticks with me https://t.co/3XO6UqLalo
