The book is definitely worth reading. It is like looking through a window at yourself, your parents, your country, your past and your present. It is an easy read, emotional, candid, and thoughtful. It was such a pleasure to open this book and discover and reevaluate those small, banal things that form you. It felt like you are return back to your childhood, but now you look at the world through the prism of the regime. Little everyday things, struggles and rituals fall together into one consistent picture, which presents to us the landscape of the Communist regime in Central and Eastern Europe.
