[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, I've just finished it.

Here's a thread that remains unresolved for me: what is up with Cleo?  She seems so sinister in the way she urged Beth to stay up drinking after Beth explained why she needed to sleep: what Cleo did was not a neutral thing, but kind of malicious.  Is Cleo...a Soviet plant?

Also:

I am not a Russian native speaker, but I worked in Eastern Europe for a number of years and went through some intense language training.  The guy who plays Borgov is not a native speaker: his accent is worse than mine.  What is up with that?  So many other details are so authentic, and it would have been easy to get an actual Russian native speaker to play this guy, so I can't help but think this is a deliberate choice that must mean something.[/quote]

I wondered about Cleo, too. I thought she was jealous of Beth's relationship with Benny. [/quote]

PP again, has anyone read the book and does the book answer any of the questions on this thread?[/quote]
