In the most unlikely setting–a Siberian labor camp following World War II–the author, then a young Lithuanian student imprisoned by Soviet forces, met and fell in love with fellow exile Gurgen Mahari, a noted Armenian poet and novelist. This memoir spans a life than began in the author's native Lithuania, took her to experience the inhumane conditions of Soviet totalitarianism, and finally shifted to the intellectual atmosphere of Armenia. Now in her 80s, the author is still living in the Yerevan apartment she shared for many years with her late husband. Edited by Ruth Bedevian; Translated from the original Russian by Jaklin Ekmekjian and Gohar Arsenyan
