Description
This deeply personal memoir traces the intertwined lives of two Jewish women whose experiences span revolution, war, Stalinism, and the long aftermath of Soviet rule. Through family stories, memories, and historical investigation, it explores how Ester and Ruzya navigated political upheaval, antisemitism, love, loss, and the demands of survival. Blending intimate portraiture with a vivid account of twentieth-century Russian history, the book is both a tribute to two remarkable women and a meditation on memory, identity, and the complicated inheritance of family.
