Laima Vince takes us on a harrowing through-the-looking glass tour
of Lithuania in 1988 - 1989, during a time of great social and
political turmoil. In diary form, she gives us her personal,
unflinching account of the daily hardships that characterize this
faltering society--one filled with guns, poverty, bitterness,
mistrust, and sometimes, friendship. We see the full range of
emotions here as people try to live normal lives against a backdrop
of uncertainty. At times funny, at time poignant, this book
explores the extraordinary human cost of an oppressive system of
government, as well as the extraordinary human valor of those who
survive it. It shows us that, underneath, all people share the same
basic needs for freedom, for hope, and for love. This is a fine and
important book. Reviewed by Clint McCown
