Summary Vivid and candid, this historical novel chronicles the lives of three families over the course of 50 years during the Cold War and its aftermath.

This account skillfully portrays how world events-including the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, the Solidarity movement in Poland in the early 1980s, and the end of Communism in.
