Roberta Seret‘s new novel (released June 1 by Academic Studies Press), My Friend the Spy, is a powerful story set in the real political context of Belarus and the war in Ukraine. It’s the story of a Film Professor at the U.N. who forms a friendship with her assistant—the wife of a Belarusian diplomat with a past linked to an authoritarian regime. As their trust grows, the narrator becomes involved in a world of secrets, loyalty, and power, where the line between observer and participant slowly fades. Based on real politics, the novel explores how personal relationships survive under pressure and whether individual conscience can resist state violence.
