About the book: 2012 / Book of Memoirs by Leelo Tungal continues the chronicle of the family and the history of the 50s of the 20th century. It is told by a smart little girl from a once happy Soviet family. This is a story that should not be, because in it, in addition to children's laughter and pranks, love and joy, there are non-childish pain and losses, fear and hope, and finally, the duality of life: ours - others.

This book is an invaluable piece of history and a striking literary event. “Leelo Tungal is an amazing writer and an amazing person,” Boris Tuch wrote about the author of the book of memoirs. “Her productivity is amazing: over 35 years of creative activity, about 80 books. And among them not a single one is weak or boring. Children do not accept falsehood».
