Why read it?

1 author picked Stalin's Door as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A brilliant evocation of the paranoia of the Stalin regime and the extraordinary extent of its surveillance of members of the Communist elite. We follow the story of a young girl as her family is destroyed and she is sent to the GULAG. Although it delves deep into the horrors of Stalinist persecution, this book is also an uplifting tale of love, courage, and survival.

From Paul's list on life in the Soviet Union.
