Drawing on a huge range of sources - letters, memoirs, conversations - Orlando Figes tells the story of how Russians tried to endure life under Stalin. Those who shaped the political system became, very frequently, its victims. Those who were its victims were frequently quite blameless. The Whisperers recreates the sort of maze in which Russians found themselves, where an unwitting wrong turn could either destroy a family or, perversely, later save it: a society in which everyone spoke in whispers; whether to protect themselves, their families, neighbours or friends, or to inform on them. 'The whisperers come together as one echoing, clamorous voice - a powerful testimony to the horror of private life under Stalin' - Marianne Brace, Independent on Sunday 'One of the most unforgettable books I have ever read' - Simon Sebag Montefiore, Mail on Sunday «
