From the Publisher:
Elena Gorokhova grows up in 1960's Leningrad where she discovers that beauty and passion can be found in unexpected places in Soviet Russia. |
Annotation:
Elena Gorohova's lovely memoir captures both the stultifying oppression of growing up in the Soviet Union of the 1960s and the atmospheric beauty of mother Russia. Full of keen observation, vibrant intelligence, and pitch-perfect prose, MOUNTAIN OF CRUMBS vividly evokes a troubled lost world through the eyes of a passionate young girl yearning for a more liberated way of life. Simultaneously a portrait of a precise historical moment and a timeless romantic sensibility, Gorokhova's memoir is a sheer delight.
