Part allegory, part autobiography, and part epic, East of Eden was an ambitious project from the start – a gift to Steinbeck’s sons that was meant to teach them about identity, grief, and what it means to be human. From this plot emerged some of Steinbeck’s most fascinating characters – many of whom are modeled after people in his own life. In his journal, Journal of a Novel (often read as a companion to the novel) he notes that “this is the book I have always wanted and have worked and prayed to be able to write Set primarily in the Salinas Valley in the early twentieth century, the novel traces three generations of two families – the Trasks and the Hamiltons – as they grapple with the ever-present forces of good and evil.

He arrived just as the Berlin Wall went up, and woke one morning to the sound of tanks rumbling past the Soviet embassy.īut it was the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia that propelled Gordievsky towards the west and, as he put it, determined “the course of my own life”. Then as a KGB trainee he spent six months in East Berlin. It charts his recruitment by the KGB, where his older brother Vasili served as a deep-cover “illegal”, and Gordievsky’s growing disillusionment with the grey totalitarian world of 1960s Moscow. Gordievsky has told the story of his own improbable survival in a gripping 1995 memoir, Next Stop Execution. It went some way towards exorcising the Cambridge spies, who a generation earlier had travelled in the opposite direction. It was the only time that the spooks managed to exfiltrate a penetration agent from the USSR, outwitting their Russian adversaries. Even more astounding was that in summer 1985 – after Gordievsky was hastily recalled from London to Moscow by his suspicious bosses – British intelligence officers helped him to escape. That he managed to deceive his KGB colleagues during this time was remarkable. O leg Gordievsky was the most significant British agent of the cold war.

She revealed in a 2020 documentary and a recent memoir about how her parents, frustrated with her rebellious teenage behavior, sent her to multiple facilities that promised to straighten her out, places where she says she was abused mentally and physically. In 2022, Elizabeth Gilpin published “Stolen: A Memoir,” about her experience in one of these schools that touted therapy for troubled teens. There have been a number of recent accounts of young people, particularly young women, who were sent to schools for so-called “troubled” or “bad” kids. “The Home for Wayward Girls” (Harper) by Marcia Bradley This cover image released by Harper shows "The Home for Wayward Girls" by Marcia Bradley.
