The Traitor's Daughter
The Traitor's Daughter by Roxana Spicer is an intimate work of biography, memoir, and investigative history tracing the author's decades-long search for the truth about her mother, Agnes. Born in the Soviet Union, Agnes served in the Red Army, survived Nazi captivity, crossed postwar Europe, and eventually built a new life in Canada while keeping much of her past hidden from her family.
Drawing on archival research, travel, interviews, and her experience as an investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker, Spicer examines both her mother's extraordinary survival and the broader treatment of Soviet prisoners of war. The book became an instant national bestseller, was selected as a Globe and Mail Best Book of the Year, and was a finalist for the Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize for Non-Fiction.
This is the 2024 Viking/Penguin Canada first edition, first printing hardcover, with the complete number line ending in 1 and its dust jacket present. The title page is personally inscribed to Stella with a message referring to the author's mother's story and is signed by Roxana Spicer.
The book and dust jacket are in Very Good condition, with light handling or shelf wear consistent with the grade. The photographed interior pages appear clean aside from the author inscription. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the exact copy offered.
