The Betrayers: A Novel | David Bezmozgis
post image
Pickpick

In this novel betrayal is the main source of conflict between the characters.Baruch Kotler,a married Israeli-Russian politician,opposes withdrawal of Israeli settlements from the West Bank&because he refuses to back down from this political stance photos of him&his young mistress Leora are leaked to the press.The novel starts with the couple‘s arrival in Yalta where they want to hide from the press.They happen to rent a room in a B&B👇

Anna40 Run by Tankilevich,the very man who years earlier betrayed Baruch back in Russia,&his wife.Because of him Baruch experienced the horrors of the Gulag.But nothing is as simple as it seems.There are reasons behind the betrayals.A clever,extremely well written story.Bezmozgis is an author I want to read more of. 2w

This is a pick because the writing was good, and I wanted to see how everything would tie together. I also appreciated learning about an area I do not know a lot about. I did feel like the ending was rushed. The whole book was a slow build, which I enjoyed, and then the end just went pretty rapidly for me.

This is my third book by this author and she has become one of my favorites!

This story was very unique and I really was not expecting the plot twist in the middle of it. It is a story about heartbreak, healing and finding your way again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love this dedication. However, the book was too dark for my taste.

This was assigned for Romance Book Club and, as you know, I'll read whatever is assigned 😂 I need to get over that.
