PENG UIN PRES S F REE

‘An astonishing and deeply resonant memoir about growing up in the last days of communist Albania … more fundamentally about humanity, and about the confusions and wonders of childhood. Ypi weaves magic in this book: I was entranced from beginning to end’

‘Wonderfully funny and poignant … a tale of family secrets and political awakening’
