Romance between a Soviet (spy) and an American (spy) during the Cold War

[Sophie (BlameChocolate) *on hiatus*]

It sounds really clichéd but it's fine because I've never read one :)

Anyone has any suggestions? Preferably if there's a lot of action and espionage and actual plot. Angst is great, too.

I just think the whole enemies turned lovers fascinating. Of course, a lot of tension would ensue and that's fine as well.

It doesn't have to be the main focus of the story at all.

Thank you!

P.S.: They don't have to both be spies. One of them is enough, or even none if the story is engaging enough.

I have actually watched a documentary about a real life couple like that. As far as I know there isn't a book about them, though, sorry.

That sounds like something I would like to watch! Will have to see if there's a book tied to it...
Thank you anyway :)

I just found a trailer with English subtitles, though it does seem to be on Youtube with Russian ones. I very much doubt there is a book.

The Russia House, although the Iron Curtain is crumbling already. It was made into a movie (Sean Connery, Michelle Pfeiffer) which I didn't see.

Thank you both! ^^

If they don't both have to be spies, try The Tamarind Seed by Evelyn Anthony. It's a re-release from the '70's that I enjoyed.

I loved the movie version of The Russia House and couldn't wait to read the book.
