"This singular autobiography unfurls from author Marina Jarre's native Latvia during the 1920s and 30s and expands southward to the Italian countryside. Jarre depicts an exceptionally multinational and complicated family : her elusive, handsome father, her severe, cultured mother, and her sister and Latvian grandparents." --from the publisher
