Poetically weaving together hard-won adult insights with her childhood perceptions, Pilon tells the haunting stories of her parents, grandparents, neighbors, and friends. She recounts the chilling realities of anti-Semitism, political imprisonment, and judicial execution under Romania’s ruthless communist authorities. And she remembers those few who managed to retain their humanity despite the horrors that surrounded them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold with detached melancholy, the result is a book full of political and spiritual wisdom. At a time when the totalitarian crimes of the last century are being minimized, if not entirely ignored, Pilon’s meditation on evil, hope, and love is profoundly moving.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Creed \u0026 Culture Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57533085417816,"sku":"9781967613267","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781967613267.jpg?v=1781782286","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/notes-from-the-other-side-of-night-3","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
