YA
Yuri grows up listening to gloomy tales of despair under the czar's reign, yet he is utterly unprepared for the hardships the Glorious Revolution brings. Desperate and determined, Yuri survives exile, deportation, and labor camp, but only by suppressing his own humanity. Yuri's spare, bitter, first-person narrative raises difficult questions about the costs of endurance and survival.
