This book of fiction is based on real people and real events. As a publishing director writes on the back cover: Marilyn Z. Tomlins creates a brilliant and vivid testimony in For the Love of a Poet of life under Josef Stalin. She artfully uses Tanya, lover of the dissident poet Beretzkoy, to narrate a story filled with love and passion, but also with fear, brutality, imprisonments and death.
The book is available both as an e-book and as a paperback.
