The Red Hotel Quotes

“At home, Nadya found Victor waiting for her. With one look at her face he understood. ‘You’re going with him, aren’t you?’ ‘Yes,’ she said. Victor was crushed. ‘But you said you loved me.’ ‘But I have to go.’ They talked all night, with Victor reminding her of the comfortable life she was about to give up and she saying she had to respond to the call of the Revolution.”
