'Riveting, tragic tale' New Yorker 'Anna Pasternak has produced an
irresistible account of joy, suffering and passion' Financial Times
The heartbreaking story of the passionate love affair between Boris
Pasternak and Olga Ivinskaya - the tragic true story that inspired
Doctor Zhivago. 'Doctor Zhivago' has sold in its millions yet the
true love story that inspired it has never been fully explored.
Pasternak would often say 'Lara exists, go and meet her', directing
his visitors to the love of his life and literary muse, Olga
Ivinskaya. They met in 1946 at the literary journal where she
worked. Their relationship would last for the remainder of their
lives. Olga paid an enormous price for loving 'her Boria'. She
became a pawn in a highly political game and was imprisoned twice
in Siberian labour camps because of her association with him and
his controversial work. Her story is one of unimaginable courage,
loyalty, suffering, tragedy, drama and loss. Drawing on both
archival and family sources, Anna Pasternak's book reveals for the
first time the critical role played by Olga in Boris's life and
argues that without Olga it is likely that Doctor Zhivago would
never have been completed or published. Anna Pasternak is a writer
and member of the famous Pasternak family. She is the
great-granddaughter of Leonid Pasternak, the impressionist painter
and Nobel Prize winning novelist Boris Pasternak was her
great-uncle. She is the author of three previous books.
