Born in Madrid to a Ukrainian soprano and a Spanish tenor, Lina Prokofiev was studying music in New York when she met the young pianist and composer Serge Prokofiev. Although her mother warned her against him, they embarked on a scandalously public relationship before being enticed back to the Soviet Union in 1936. Unfolding with the intrigue of a spy novel, 'The Love and Wars of Lina Prokofiev' traces this largely untold story, from the moment Lina fell in love with a rising star to her experiences in the Gulag.
