A stunning work brought to life by editor Olga Gladky Verro and daughter of the author, Orest M. Gladky. Set during the most turbulent period in Russia’s history, from the struggles during the revolution and the effects of a bitter civil war. The work is hard to read at times, but never less than fascinating.A superbly written collection filled with a myriad of human drama and a tribute to the author and the editor for revealing such heart rending stories. It is a testament to the trials humanity can survive, when pushed to the limit and the descriptive skills of Orest M. Gladky, who presents what he witnessed through his own eyes, vividly and with painstaking accuracy.Throughout the piece the author’s love of his Country is there for all to see. With stories designed to stir the emotions, I defy anyone to read this collection and fail to be moved.
