BOOK RESUME: Drawing on interviews, diaries and recently available KGB records, Kudrova, who has written on the life and work of Marina Tsvetaeva (1892-1941), details the Russian poets last years before her suicide at the age of 49 Despite the somewhat uneven translation, Kudrovas narrative is consistently gripping and exudes an aura of relentless tragedy In 1922, the poet left Moscow to join her husband, Efron, who had been forced to emigrate to Paris for political reasons With her son, Mur, and daughter, Alya (another daughter died earlier of malnutrition), she lived there and continued to write poetry In 1937, Efron, who worked for the Soviet secret police, was ordered to return to Russia, where Alya now lived In 1938, Tsvetaeva and their son followed and, for a time, all were housed by the state at a dacha in Bolshevo Virtually a prisoner, Tsvetaeva had little to do with Russias literary world There is no evidence that she was even contacted at this time by her friend Boris Pasternak After her husband and daughter were arrested, she fell into a depression Kudrova successfully evokes the world of 1930s Russia, where no one was safe from purges and informers; trials and executions were common The author traces Tsvetaevas desperate attempts to find work that would support herself and Mur an unsuccessful quest that ended when she hung herself Although Kudrova posits several reasons, mental illness, political prosecution for Tsvetaevas decision to end her life, it is reasonable to conclude that she was simply overwhelmed by the harsh conditions of her life Kudrovo continues with her heart-breaking narrative: under the duress of interrogations, Efron and Alya informed on each other; Alya was sent to prison and Efron was shot two months after Tsvetaevas suicide.…
