Interesting review. "A Secret Life" by Mina Bancheva revolves around Yana who is struggling to choose between her new family and sisters misery. The author beautifully weaved romance, travel and politics themes in this book.

Yana has been dreaming about freedom. After obtaining her visa, she relocates to Wales, where she meets and falls in love with Daniel. When her mother gets sick, Yana must return to Bulgaria to accompany her, but in order to return to Wales, she must obtain another visa, and she has to do things she might not be comfortable with. But being with Daniel might be worth everything.

From the sample, I found the storyline a bit weak and the narration poor so I think I will pass. But considering there are so many lesson to be learnt, the readers might benefit from it. Thank you for highlighting the lessons and congratulations on the BOTD.

"A Secret Life" is an intriguing story of Yana, a Bulgarian who in search of freedom finds love. As the story progresses, it would seem her newfound life was about to be taken from her by the life she fled from due to a contract she entered into. This is a story about government surveillance, oppression, love and the search for liberty. I loved the cultural originality that pervades the lengths of this book.

Thanks to your excellent review, I'm now eager to learn more about Yana and her sister and this narrative.
Immigration is a sensitive topic fraught with hardships, anguish, and suffering. Here, the author succeeded in engaging readers on a deeper level by focusing on a young woman who is merely seeking her independence and a better life.

‪“A Secret Life” by Mina Bancheva delves into the life of a young woman, 1974, in communist Bulgaria that cannot go on living in the shadow of fear and oppression. I found this book gripping from the beginning to the end‬

Yana in "A Secret Life" by Mina Bancheva became a victim of circumstance. I hope she was able to navigate and eventually win on all sides. The effort the author made to explain the motivation for the characters' decisions is commendable. Congrats on BOTD. Nice review.
