The Endless Steppe: Growing Up in Siberia by Esther Hautzig

5.0

Another book I remember vividly. There is a part when she is commissioned to knit a red jumper from one of the women also in exile, and she does it perfectly, but the woman has got fat because she had access to a cow and it's milk and won't pay for the jumper as it doesn't fit. The injustice of it still makes boil!
