SYNOPSIS:  437 pages. The remarkable true love story of how the author, sent to one of Stalin's labour camps in Siberia fell in love with Anton Walter, a doctor and fellow prisoner until eventually, freed and in exile they marry and adopt a child. Evgenia Semyonovna Ginzburg is a Leninist Communist. She was imprisoned in 1937, a woman of thirty, and spent eighteen years in various prisons and in Siberia labour camps. She has been living in Russia since her liberation. This is the story of a noble and intelligent person, persecuted though innocent, humiliated as a citizen and as a woman, bereft of husband, children, home, profession, femininity, all this in her own country, by her own party. She was kept alive, in mind and body, by her determination not to let this happen, but to observe and remember and one day to establish the historical record. This she has done in a way so courageous, immediate, and compelling that her book is sure to become one of the great narrative documents of our time.
