About this ebook

Can a Red-Haired Woman From Chicago Single-Handedly Force Joseph Stalin to Back Down?

China, 1927. Thirty-three-year-old Rayna Prohme, accompanying her left-wing journalist husband, becomes the political confidant and lover of Mikhail Borodin, the Russian commander sent to prop up a failing Chinese
revolution. In a bid to continue their love affair, Rayna hatches a plan to accompany Mme. Sun, the widow of the Chinese revolution’s founder, to Moscow. But Moscow doesn’t welcome the women. Borodin shuns them. Rayna’s stipend and her housing arrangements are cancelled. “Go home,” she is told. But Rayna does not want to go home to an ordinary life, to her husband and Chicago.

Instead she applies to Soviet Espionage School that soon demands she spy on Mme. Sun. The Chinese widow is, by now, in grave danger as her exit visa is blocked. Rayna must now make a choice — Borodin and Russia or Mme. Sun and China.

    This is a very well researched novel about a little known character who was a significant person in the Communist party in the 1920s despite her growing up in American. It's very enjoyable and well-written and a chance to learn about a little known person in history.
