Opis

Winner of the Rebecca's Reads 2011 Award for Creative Non-Fiction http: //rebeccasreads.com/WrittenArtAwards2011Winners.html 4 strong women, who, left alone, endure heartbreak and incredible hardships. 3 strong men, who face the horrors and loneliness of war, human brutality and the harshness of nature. This book vividly brings to life the triumph of human spirit as the characters deal with world-changing events in World War 1, the Russian Revolution, World War 2 and Stalin's gulags. It recounts the true experiences of 7 members of one ordinary family under extraordinary conditions. Spanning 60 years and weaving from one side of the world to the other, the intertwining threads of 7 people's lives form the multicoloured tapestry of this story. These events took place less than 100 years ago and millions of people living in Europe at that time shared similar experiences. The book has been written by a direct descendent who gathered her information from secret diaries, family documents and verbal records of the actual participants.
