Publisher's Synopsis
In a series of sketches, anecdotes and reflections, Yolanthe Leigh tells the story of her growing up in the Poland of the 30s and WWII. Episodes from childhood, stark memories of the Nazi invasion, and the hardships of student life in Warsaw under the Occupation are all described. But most of all, this is a record of inward development; passages describe the girl's response to religion, to music and to her discovery of philosophy.
