The Perfect Actor Book Review
The story follows the life of Sasha, a young man who was unexpectedly thrust into the world of espionage. After enduring the hardships of war, his journey takes him through training at a spy school and he ultimately becomes a Russian spy in Poland.
He marries his girlfriend Nadia and both of them enter Poland as “refugees” in order to infiltrate the Jewish community there. Sasha’s job was to report to the Russian government about any Jew who did not comply with Poland’s strict communist rules. Sasha struggles with his new identity, the mission he is expected to fulfill, his passion for theater, and an unexpected love affair.
Sasha’s passion for theater fueled his desire to help the people who wanted a non-communist Poland. The unexpected turn of events was the start of him becoming a double agent, fighting for a cause that could change Eastern Europe forever. As a “double agent,” will Sasha perform the duties expected of him? Will he betray the people that he loves?
The Perfect Actor is much more than just a spy story. This book tells the story of a man trying to navigate his private life amidst a career of secrets and danger. Sasha tries to make a positive impact on the world during very challenging times, with his incessant desire to be a “good man.”
Conclusion
Overall, The Perfect Actor is an interesting read. Unlike other spy novels, the main character in this book is not cold-blooded or heartless. He displays real human emotions and was torn between doing his job and doing what is right.
