Beschreibung

Minimal wear. A story of childhood and youth in Finland and Sweden. Arja Nenonen was born in Finland in 1936, three years before the outbreak of the Second World War. During the war her father was killed and the family had to escape from Karelia to the relative safety of western Finland. ater, together with tens of thousands of other Finnish children, Arja was sent to Sweden. Returning after the war to a very changed and shrunken Finland and having forgotten her native language, she found herself confronted with two big problems - an alcoholic stepfather and city life in Helsinki with its bomb sites and rationing. Both came as a shock after a quiet life in a small Swedish village among very puritan and religious people. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 007525
