Bear Any Burden is a gripping page-turner, full of twists and turns and surprises as much a spy story as an epic family saga, spanning decades and continents, from 19th Century Poland all the way to the height of the Cold War. A richly complex thriller in the tradition of Graham Greene and John Le Carre, Bear Any Burden posts urgent and timeless questions of family, loyalty and liberty. "Reminiscent of the best of John Le Carre and Herman Wouk, Bear Any Burden is a compelling story of intrigue, espionage and utter perseverance. Ellis M. Goodman creates a wonderful, rewarding journey for any reader looking for a novel that they are reluctant to put down. Stephen Eich - Los Angeles, Producer - Capeman, Piscsso at Lapin Agile
