Description
by Laima Vince (Author)
Laima Vince takes us on a harrowing through-the-looking glass tour of Lithuania in 1988 - 1989, during a time of great social and political turmoil. In diary form, she gives us her personal, unflinching account of the daily hardships that characterize this faltering society--one filled with guns, poverty, bitterness, mistrust, and sometimes, friendship. We see the full range of emotions here as people try to live normal lives against a backdrop of uncertainty. At times funny, at time poignant, this book explores the extraordinary human cost of an oppressive system of government, as well as the extraordinary human valor of those who survive it. It shows us that, underneath, all people share the same basic needs for freedom, for hope, and for love. This is a fine and important book. Reviewed by Clint McCown
Author Biography
Told in terse, richly evocative prose, Laima Vince's account of her year in Vilnius is at once the compelling story of a young Lithuanian-American woman's journey of self-discovery, a vivid portrayal of life among restless and idealistic youth on the eve of the Soviet Union's collapse, and an inspiring evocation of the indomitable human spirit.
