Publisher's Summary

Now a major motion picture.

After an early career amongst the political elite of Cold War Russia, Alexander Ivanov has lived in America for 40 years and has managed to bury the tragic memories surrounding his charismatic late wife, Katya - or so he believes.

For into his life come two women - one who will start to open up the heart he has protected for so long; another who is determined to uncover the truth about what really happened to Katya all those years ago. The audiobook's journey back to the snowbound streets of post-Stalinist Moscow reveals a precarious, dangerous world of secrets and treachery.

What the critics say

"Despite the Falling Snow by Shamim Sarif, one of our most outstanding young novelists, is my novel of the year: its delicate artistry and immense compass reaches back to the labyrinthine heart of Soviet Russia." (Stevie Davies, The Independent)

So many emotions I wasn’t expecting

I’ve seen the movie a few years back, but I don’t remember being this emotional about it. This book is beautiful.

Shamim did a beautiful job not only writing but narrating this story. I had to pause so many times because I was so full of emotions. Would recommend this to anyone with a passion for history and tragic love stories.
