McClay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn  Notes from the Other Side of Night , Juliana Geran Pilon provides a beautiful memoir of a return to her native Romania in 1975, which she left with her family when she was just fourteen. Poetically weaving together hard-won adult insights with her childhood perceptions, Pilon tells the haunting stories of her parents, grandparents, neighbors, and friends. She recounts the chilling realities of anti-Semitism, political imprisonment, and judicial execution under Romania’s ruthless communist authorities. And she remembers those few who managed to retain their humanity despite the horrors that surrounded them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTold with detached melancholy, the result is a book full of political and spiritual wisdom. At a time when the totalitarian crimes of the last century are being minimized, if not entirely ignored, Pilon’s meditation on evil, hope, and love is profoundly moving.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52855360422104,"sku":"YSL83181","price":11.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/812Fa2-nqyL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793417859","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b0gfy69br2","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
