Agate Nesaule
A WOMAN IN AMBER

 

The author presents a memoir of her life during and after World War II. "As a child in Latvia, she endured the terror and dislocation of {the war} at the hands of both Soviets and Germans, lived in a postwar refugee camp, andbecame an immigrant to the American Midwest."

Only seven when she and her family fled their comfortable parsonage in rural Latvia to avoid the Russian advance, Agate Nesaule has been a witness to rape, torture, and executions. A Woman in Amber chronicles her amazing story of survival, struggling still to live with such terrible knowledge.


A heartbreaking yet inspiring memoir of tragedy and healing, of war and recovery, of physical dislocation and psychological relocation…A beautifully told story.
