Jacques Roubaud

Loop Jacques Roubaud First English Translation edition

Kalniete's book is a moving and eloquent testimony to her family and to the Latvian nation -- to their shared fate during more than fifty years of occupation. It is an indictment of the inhuman repression of both the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Above all, it is the story of human survival, and it has become the most-translated Latvian book in recent history.
