Critics Review
John Burnham Schwartz has drawn such a fine and generous portrait of Stalin’s daughter-a difficult, complicated, and deeply sympathetic woman-that 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 is a lustrous book - Lauren Groff
The Red Daughter is an intimate, intricate look at the collision of geopolitics with a private life: surprising and engaging from beginning to end - Jennifer EganThe Red Daughter is one of those novels I wish I could have written, if only I were smarter. It’s an act of literary resurrection, bringing Svetlana Alliluyeva back to life and liberating her from her father’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’t think any writer alive could have told her story more beautifully than John Burnham Schwartz - David Benioff, Co-creator of HBO s Game of Thrones and author of City of ThievesAbout The Author
