The author, as a young boy, leads a privileged life in Viljandi, Estonia. His father is a bank president, his mother is beautiful, his younger sister is no problem. Boring school is his only problem, until the turmoil of war intervenes. This is a memoir which takes place during World War II. This work of nonfiction contrasting rural and urban life. Chapter 1 takes place in 1999, and sets the scene for what is to follow: "Thus, we sail on through the Swedish Archipelago, over the Baltic Sea, and into Tallinn Harbor, with the red roofs of the Old City shining before us, at last. My sister and I stand shoulder to shoulder at the rail. Remembering." This gripping coming-of-age story of the family's struggle to survive amid horror, monotony, uncertainty, and hunger imposed by war, is told by the reluctant schoolboy in the vernacular reflecting his age and European background. It is a unique mix of history, culture, philosophy, humor, and reflection, told-- "Through the eyes of a child"-- from early childhood to age fifteen. The maps, photographs of the period, and factual accuracy will be welcomed by ethnographers and historians, as well as by those seeking an adventurous read.
