In a memoir that is by turns "bitingly, if darkly, funny ... and truly profound" (Max Strasser, New York Times), Lea Ypi reflects on "freedom" as she recounts living through the end Communism in the Balkans as a child. "This is history brought memorably and powerfully to life" (Tara Westover, author of Educated).
