About this listen
A collection of moving, often funny vignettes about a childhood spent in the Soviet Union poignantly captures what life could be like behind the old Iron Curtain.
©1994 Nina Kossman (P)2026 Nina KossmanCritic Reviews
"This unique book will serve to promote discussions of freedom. The commonality of typical childhood activities-going to the beach, friendships, and school assignments-make the child very real. The endnotes further reveal the restrictions imposed on Soviet citizens." –School Library Journal
"This child's eye view of Soviet Russia is original and, not withstanding its brevity, surprisingly perceptive both of Russian society and Nina, its engaging ... heroine. An unforgettable picture of life 'behind the border'...perfectly attuned to young readers" –Jean Fritz
