The White Pill: A Tale of Good and Evil by Michael Malice
5.0
Not that it matters much, but Emma Goldman was born in Kaunas (LT), which makes her not Russian-born, rather Jewish-Lithuanian born in occupied Lithuania... It doesn't changed a lot, but still some.
So, even though on paper that doesn't change much to the story Malice is telling, but... it makes, in my opinion, a difference in a person's life to be born and living your childhood in a country that is being occupied and suffering? I believe this little detail might bring a little more context on what lead for her to seek for escape in USA. She wasn't living in a free country. (not to mention not the best general situation concerning family matters). Things add up.
Although I haven't finished the book, so I might be wrong that it is not there.
