Thriller. Romance In 1950s Moscow, communist Katya secretly spies for the Americans in the Cold War arms race. When she lands her biggest assignment, stealing secrets from rising government star Alexander, the last thing she expects is to fall in love with him. Reconciling her passion for him with her beliefs about communism means making the greatest sacrifice - of her life - a sacrifice that Alexander only uncovers thirty years later.

	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"[It] is like a Jeffrey Archer airport novel with uninteresting, guessable revelations (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Ian Freer Empire	"An old school romantic thriller that lacks the subtleties and sophistication of recent spy storytelling (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		David Clack Time Out	"Too rushed to make an impact (...) there’s simply not enough time for 'Despite the Falling Snow' to become the poignant love story it wants to be."
		Tim Robey Telegraph	"[It] melts before your eyes (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"This is a glorified telenovela at heart (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
