A powerful, epic love story, Despite the Falling Snow moves effortlessly across eras and continents, between present day Boston and 1950’s Moscow, to unfold an enthralling drama of love, treachery and redemption.
After an early career amongst the political elite of Cold War Russia, Alexander Ivanov has lived in America for forty years and has managed to bury the tragic memories surrounding his charismatic late wife, Katya – or so he believes.
For into his life come two women - one who will start to open up the heart he has protected for so long; another who is determined to uncover the truth about what really happened to Katya all those years ago. The story’s journey back to post Stalinist Moscow takes us into a breathtaking world of true love lost, and of friendships betrayed.
The movie, now in development, is based on Shamim Sarif’s highly acclaimed second novel and has been described as "a story which is, literally, breathtaking." (The Good Book Guide)
