Críticas:
"Compelling.... Sullivan takes us confidently through an eventful life.... It's to Ms. Sullivan's credit that, at least in these pages, Alliluyeva herself is proved...a fascinating person not simply because of her name but because she was a willful, intelligent, passionate woman who resisted being gawked at as a freak of history: the monster's pretty daughter."--Wall Street Journal

"A principal virtue of...Sullivan's empathetic Stalin's Daughter is the vivid sense it offers of Alliluyeva.... Sullivan does a nice job of conveying her subject's point of view without accepting it as the last word."--Los Angeles Times

"[A] magisterial biography."--O Magazine

"Sullivan does an admirable job of researching, organizing and contextualizing the events of Alliluyeva's bewildering life.... It is an excellent book, and deserves a wide readership."--Dallas Morning News

"If it weren't for the pages of scrupulous footnotes and the many interviews Rosemary Sullivan pursued you would be convinced that this was fiction. But it's a true story, thrillingly told in this fast-paced, fascinating biography."--Cokie Roberts, New York Times bestselling author of Founding Mothers, Ladies of Liberty, and Capital Dames

"Although other authors have provided more systematic analysis of the substance and mechanics of Stalin's terror, Rosemary Sullivan...provides one of the more emotionally draining illustrations of Stalin's evil.... As Sullivan makes clear, Stalin's daughter led a full and dramatically tumultuous life."--Philadelphia Inquirer

""With a gentle literary touch, [Sullivan] lets readers follow Alliluyeva as she wanders the U.S. and U.K...."--Los Angeles Magazine

"Sullivan draws on previously secret documents and interviews with Svetlana's American daughter, her friends, and the CIA "handler" who escorted her to the U.S. for riveting accounts of her complicated life."--Booklist (starred review)

"Stalin's only daughter, lived an almost impossible life at the edges of 20th-century history.... Sullivan masterfully employs interviews, Alliluyeva's own letters, and the contents of CIA, KGB, and Soviet archives to stitch together a coherent narrative of her fractured life."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Praise for Villa Air-Bel "A moving and richly detailed account."--Boston Globe

Boston Globe Best Book of the Year

The award-winning author of Villa Air-Bel returns with a painstakingly researched, revelatory biography of Svetlana Stalin, a woman fated to live her life in the shadow of one of history’s most monstrous dictators—her father, Josef Stalin.

Born in the early years of the Soviet Union, Svetlana Stalin spent her youth inside the walls of the Kremlin. Communist Party privilege protected her from the mass starvation and purges that haunted Russia, but she did not escape tragedy—the loss of everyone she loved, including her mother, two brothers, aunts and uncles, and a lover twice her age, deliberately exiled to Siberia by her father.

As she gradually learned about the extent of her father’s brutality after his death, Svetlana could no longer keep quiet and in 1967 shocked the world by defecting to the United States—leaving her two children behind. But although she was never a part of her father’s regime, she could not escape his legacy. Her life in America was fractured; she moved frequently, married disastrously, shunned other Russian exiles, and ultimately died in poverty in Wisconsin.

With access to KGB, CIA, and Soviet government archives, as well as the close cooperation of Svetlana’s daughter, Rosemary Sullivan pieces together Svetlana’s incredible life in a masterful account of unprecedented intimacy. Epic in scope, it’s a revolutionary biography of a woman doomed to be a political prisoner of her father’s name. Sullivan explores a complicated character in her broader context without ever losing sight of her powerfully human story, in the process opening a closed, brutal world that continues to fascinate us.

Illustrated with photographs.
