In 1967, Joseph Stalin’s daughter braved her way over the Iron Curtain, secret memoir in tow, and landed in America as the Cold War’s most famous defector. At 40 years old, Svetlana had left everything behind for a new life in the West and the chance to finally share her story. What she found instead — a controversial commune in the Arizona desert built by Frank Lloyd Wright, a whirlwind marriage dictated by destiny, and a Montenegrin matriarch with dreams of immortality — was far more complicated. In Svetlana! Svetlana! neurotic playwright Dan Kitrosser unravels the weird and wild life of his greatest muse.

Klantrecensies
Annoyingly frequent and long ads
Too bad a good story is spoiled by frequently repeating ads. The narrato’s goofy humor is at times funny and awful.
Wanted to love it
The story is intriguing but unfortunately, the host is unbearably annoying- probably a lovely person- but I just couldn’t bear him :( Sorry.
Geweldig!!
Incredible story, dramatic and theatrical told, with respect and with humor, I love it!!!
