Like a Swallow:
Looking Back at a Polish Childhood

$18.95
Nina Lewandowska Camic writes a compelling narrative about her childhood, split between postwar Poland and New York, where her father held the position of Polish Ambassador to the United Nations. As her family bounces between the repressive and relatively closed world of an Eastern Bloc nation and the staunchly anti-communist, tumultuous America of the 1960s, Nina struggles to navigate and adjust to the demands of both. Her story is a very personal one, of childhood fears, adolescent love, and a rapidly disintegrating family life leading her to a surprising place of unexpected challenges and opportunities.
