Description

A new translation by an award-winning poet (and cousin of the author).

Originally published as in Lithuanian, this translation includes high definition photographs and new images not previously available.

Narrated with grace, deep feeling and life-affirming humor, this memoir spans the fraught time before, during, and after World War II in Lithuania, shedding light on the tragedies and joys of a people from a not-so-well known part of the world.

Rich in historical, cultural and personal detail, this is an important addition to the archives of Lithuanian literature.
