With dance shoes in Siberian snows

Description:

"Sandra Kalniete's book is a moving and eloquent testimony to her family and to the Latvian nation--to their shared fate during more than fifty years of occupation. It is an indictment of the inhuman repression of both the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Above all, it is a story of human survival, and it has become the most translated Latvian book in recent history."--Book jacket.
