Quotes by Orlando Figes

“Sveta had much less to say, but she sat with Lev and held his hand, and when I asked her what had made her fall in love with him, she replied, ‘I knew he was my future. When he was not there, I would look for him, and he would always appear by my side. That is love.’

Sveta”
― Orlando Figes, Just Send Me Word: A True Story of Love and Survival in the Gulag
