Über diesen Titel
Negotiating their way through Stalinist terrors, Nazi slavery, and British colonial brutality, Pasha Zayky and his wife, Tanya, tell firsthand how a loving family fight for survival during the hell of the 20th century.
Listeners follow this family from a war-torn Berlin to a forbidding postwar London, with flashbacks to 1930s Soviet Russia along the way, until they arrive in Africa, where nationalist forces are challenging British rule. Returning to the glamour and menace of 1960s London, a grandson, Misha, is born and raised by his baboushka Tanya.
With Misha taking over as narrator, the story ends with a chance meeting in the Russian city of Krasnodar in the early 1990s.
Throughout their struggle, Pasha and Tanya embrace each prevailing dogma, subtly editing their backstory accordingly, but at the cost of stealing the truth from subsequent generations. We are left to wonder, how many memories are merely lies?
