Shadows on the Tundra by Dalia Grinkevičiūtė

4.0

A fascinating account of a dark chapter in the history of the Baltics under Soviet oppression through the eyes of a young teenager and her uncompromising resolve to survive. Beautifully translated, this memoir finds the balance between the factual description of daily life and personal introspection, resulting in a deeply intimate portrait of suffering, resilience and survival in the unforgiving indifference of the Siberian tundra.
