Out of Line: Growing Up Soviet

(3) YA In carefully crafted episodes, Grimberg recounts her memories as a Jewish child in a close-knit Kiev family during the Cold War in the Soviet Union. Along with a few black-and-white family photos, her verbal snapshots mix childhood joys with descriptions of poverty and endless lines. The author's pride in her heritage and bitterness toward a government that labeled emigrants "traitors" give the book heart.
