Sugar Baby. The Story of a Girl from the Last Century, Told by Stella Nudolskaya
14.99 €
Olga Gromova's book "Sugar Baby" is written by her from the words of Stella Nudolskaya, whose childhood was in the late 30's - early 40's in the Soviet Union. This is a very personal and heart-wrenching story about how five-year-old Elia, happily growing up in a loving family, suddenly finds herself the daughter of an "enemy of the people" and falls into a terrible, incomprehensible to her world: after the arrest of her father, they are sent together with her mother to a camp in Kyrgyzstan as PSIR (family members of a traitor to the homeland) and SIE (socially dangerous elements). But despite all the trials, hunger and illnesses they have to endure, Elia and her mother do not lose heart: they recite poems, sing songs, joke, and truly care for each other. "Sugar Baby" is in many ways a "novel of education", a story about love, and also about what is dignity and what is freedom. The most accurate thing Ali's mom says about freedom is, "Slavery is a state of mind. You can't make a free person a slave.
