In Cafe "The Blue Danube," Radka Yakimov, a native of Bulgaria,
recalls tales that are heartfelt, reflective and insightful. The
communist regimes of Eastern Europe, the fight for women's rights
and trying to adapt to a new life in Canada while suspended between
two worlds are towering themes in this hard-hitting book. Yakimov
takes her readers to faraway places. You'll meet Mrs. Bailey, who
finds herself in a strange place-right in her own country; you'll
learn how so many are struggling with life in the post-communists
democracies while battling the consequences of totalitarianism; and
you'll feel how agonizing it can be for a mother to yearn for a
child in a faraway place. And of course, you'll walk through the
doors of Cafe "The Blue Danube," where immigrants united by a
common love of dancing and music can congregate and come to terms
with their own circumstances, their own problems and their own
regrets all while looking to the future. The memoirs in Cafe "The
Blue Danube" deftly point out that being a newcomer can be a
difficult experience, but they also celebrate what makes us all
different-as well as the same.
