&ldquo;The story, which captures the mysterious Svetlana through her imagined journal entries and letters, as well as Horvath&rsquo;s &lsquo;editor&rsquo;s notes,&rsquo; is&#160;lively and engaging.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;John Burnham Schwartz has drawn such&#160;a fine and generous portrait&#160;of Stalin&rsquo;s daughter&mdash;a difficult, complicated, and deeply sympathetic woman&mdash;that&#160;I read his novel in a single great draught, and ever since have been worried about Svetlana as though she were a close and troubled friend of mine. The Red Daughter&#160;is&#160;a lustrous book.&rdquo;&mdash;Lauren Groff &ldquo;The Red Daughter&#160;is an intimate, intricate look at the collision of geopolitics with a private life: surprising and engaging from beginning to end.&rdquo;&mdash;Jennifer Egan &ldquo;The Red Daughter&#160;is one of those novels I wish I could have written, if only I were smarter. It&rsquo;s an act of literary resurrection, bringing&#160;Svetlana Alliluyeva back to life and liberating her from her father&rsquo;s shadow. In these pages we watch a broken human try to piece herself back together, again and again. Her life was endlessly fascinating, often heartbreaking, and ultimately heroic. I don&rsquo;t think any writer alive could have told her story more beautifully than John Burnham Schwartz.&rdquo;&mdash;David Benioff, co-creator of HBO&rsquo;s Game of Thrones and author of&#160;City of Thieves &ldquo;Like an old world alchemist, John Burnham Schwartz&#160;takes for his base elements a character who in real life was as famous as she was misunderstood, and he&#160;spins gold.&#160;We recognize something of ourselves in Svetlana&rsquo;s complicated and conflicted soul, and through her eyes we have&#160;a deeply insightful&#160;glimpse of an America that eludes us, but must be apparent to an outsider. The Red Daughter&#160;is brilliant, thoughtful, and beautifully imagined&mdash;a masterpiece by a writer at his best.&rdquo;&mdash;Abraham Verghese,&#160;author of&#160;My Own Country &ldquo;A woman is haunted by the sins of her father. Schwartz takes the extreme of that dilemma&mdash;not just any father: it&rsquo;s Joseph Stalin&mdash;and tells&#160;a powerful tale of one daughter&rsquo;s struggle to free herself and rewrite her own history.&rdquo;&mdash;Nancy Horan,&#160;author of&#160;Loving Frank&ldquo;Richly detailed&#160;. . .&#160;an&#160;insightful and compelling&#160;saga of a woman desperately trying to escape her infamous past ... Fact and fiction mingle seamlessly&#160;in a story of the defection and lonely wanderings of Josef Stalin&rsquo;s only daughter. &rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&#160;(starred review) &ldquo;In this&#160;gripping&#160;historical novel about the defection of Stalin&rsquo;s only daughter, Svetlana Alliluyeva,&#160;Schwartz explores the wider political context that sharpens private tragedy. . . .&#160;This lovely novel&rsquo;s strength is the aching portrait of Svetlana: &lsquo;not American, not Russian, neither this thing or that thing but always now between these things, which is the tragedy of my life.&rsquo; Filled with historical details that enliven and ground the fictionalized elements,&#160;Schwartz&rsquo;s elegant novel captures the emotion and strain of Alliluyeva&rsquo;s second life in the U.S.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly &ldquo;A perceptive exploration of identity, motherhood, and how one woman valiantly tried to shed the heavy mantle of her father&rsquo;s infamous legacy . . . Schwartz again demonstrates his adroitness at illustrating the troubled lives of high-profile twentieth-century women.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist
