Lose yourself in the captivating tale of Florence Fein's remarkable journey through 20th-century Russia. Growing up in 1930s Brooklyn, Fein yearned to escape the restrictive norms of her family and city, seeking a life of purpose and significance. Fate led her to Moscow when a new job and a passionate affair beckoned, and she willingly left America behind, only to realize years later that America had abandoned her. Now, as her son Julian embarks on a mission to stitch together a murky transcontinental oil deal, he delves into Florence's past, unearthing the secrets of her transformation. He must also convince his own son, Lenny, to abandon his risky pursuit of prosperity in the cutthroat Russian marketplace.

As Julian traces a thread from Depression-era America, through the collective housing and work camps of Stalin's USSR, to the glittering, oil-rich world of New Russia, he begins to understand his role as a father and a son. The Patriots is an epic masterpiece, capturing the intricate relationship between America and Russia while weaving a beautifully crafted story of three generations of one family caught between the forces of history and the consequences of their past choices.
