This is the story of a very free-spirited Russian girl, a dutiful and skeptical American reporter, and the improbable love they shared. It is also an intimate portrait of the curious country that sparked their love and made it impossible. The tragic tale is not merely a delightful read but also a classic of its kind. "In The Girl From Petrovka, writes The New Yorker magazine, Feifer has written the only good American novel about modern Russian life that I can remember Oktyabrina Matvyeva joins the ranks of memorable-and heroic-women of modern fiction."

George Feifer?s first article about Russia was published in Harper?s magazine in 1959. His seven subsequent books about the curious country made him one of its most respected American observers and interpreters, but even he was surprised when a Russian girl emerged from prison to claim she was the heroine of this delightful novel. Feifer lives in Roxbury, Connecticut.
