The Courilof Affair

Set in early 1900s Russia, The Courilof Affair by Irène Némirovsky follows Léon M, a devoted revolutionary assigned to assassinate a brutal government minister. Disguised as the minister’s personal doctor, Léon gains intimate access to his target’s life and the oppressive system that controls him. Set between Kiev and St. Petersburg, this powerful novel explores duty, morality, and the human cost of political violence during a turbulent moment in Russian history.
