Lara Prescott - The Secrets We Kept

Lara Prescott was told by a literary agent nobody was interested in a story about Russia. Yet her debut novel - The Secrets We Kept - sold for a $2 million dollar advance. In Episode 8 of BestSellers, she tells Phil & Natalie how she quit life in Washington and politics, to fulfil her dream to become a writer and discusses this fictional imagining of what it was like for Boris Pasternak to write Dr Zhivago. This novel is way more than a spy thriller. Read it before it hits the screens.
