The family was the Brezhnevs, and the author is Luba Brezhneva, niece of the man who led the Soviet Union for eighteen years - but who, in the end, could not protect her.
These are the touching and terrifying revelations of a child of both privilege and persecution. The story is of her transformation from a provincial schoolgirl into an outspoken young woman who moved among, and then rebelled against, the elite of Moscow.
