PUBLISHED by CUSTOM BOOK PUBLICATIONS...  ....  The ashes of the First World War are barely cool.  The new regime of USSR is placed under the steel discipline of Stalin. After the short golden age of the Charleston, the industrial world faces its first real hurdle as economies are shaken by the market crashs of the great depression.  In Germany a new leader energises the nation, pulling the country out of depression with the iron fist of the dictator. War envelopes the world. Countries of middle Europe are invaded and annexed. After, with an uneasy peace in place, borders are changed and mixed to create countries with new, unheard of names. Old cultures, religions and ideologies are forced to blend into a new unity, hating the moves – the repercussions will be felt for decades, continuing to haunt the nations responsible…   A tale of survival… after losing everything, leaving everyting behind, what is left are the truly civilised, profoundly human values the author carried within her when all outward accoutrements have been destroyed.

<p>The dismemberment of Czechoslovakia and the growing tension in Eastern Europe ruptured into World War II in 1939, unleashing a succession of disasters that would redefine the borders, ideologies and cultures of this region for years to come. Against this backdrop, Jenny Williams tells us a story of survival that is vivid, almost cinematic - a child's experience of war, through teenage years and the early days of Soviet control in Czechoslovakia; of the oppression of the Hungarian language and culture, and of socialist youth rallies; to optimism, disillusion and fear of the Prague Spring, Dubcek's reforms and the Soviet invasion of 1968, which led to her emigration to Australia. Yenni: A Life Between Worlds reveals a blueprint for happiness that sustains the author despite decades of disappointment and oppression. She does this without a hint of sentimentality, like a marvellous conversation that goes long into the night, combining the vision and sensibilities of a child with the intelligence, wit and compassion of an adult - human in a way we fear might become precarious.</p>
