Who can you turn to when the only choice is between two evils?
In 1941, fifteen-year-oldMadli hopes that the Soviet occupation is temporary,
but when the neighbours, along with thousands of others, are deported, she
knows that lives are in danger. She longs for the safety of her grandfatherâ™s
farm.
Days later, the Nazis invade her country. Friends and family find themselves
divided as they try to choose which dictator theyâ™d rather live under
âHitler or Stalin.Madli is horrified by either choice, but how long can she
remain neutral?
Every day brings new dangers and unimaginable decisions. In order to
survive,Madli knows she canâ™t fight the enemy, so she is determined to outwit
them.
This stunning debut from Urve Tamberg takes readers toWorldWar II
in Estonia, a country that vanished from world view for almost fifty years.
The struggle to survive is brought to life through the eyes of a teenager who
is determined to keep her family together against all odds.
