About the Book
In 1938 10-year-old Zosia Slimak was living an idyllic childhood in Eastern Poland, with a farm in the quiet pine forest and a beautiful house in the nearby town.
In September 1939 the Germans invaded Poland from the west, and a few days later the Russians came in from the east – turning Zosia’s idyllic world upside down.
Forced by the Russians to give up the farm and the house, she was sent to a Siberian labour camp, where she struggled to keep up her health and spirit – as well as those of her family.
Released from the camp she travelled to Africa and from there to England, where she has lived since 1948.
