This book is an actual, uncensored diary translated from Polish. It reveals a young wife's intimate feelings and candid opinions during her flight from Europe after the outbreak of World War II. Chronologically, it spans the entire War from beginning to end. Personally, it takes Angela from age 33 to 40. Geographically, it sweeps across seven countries, ending in the USA. She is demoted from a wealthy socialite in an elite circle to starting from scratch in an unfamiliar language and place. Angela truly confides in her diary. The topics are a mosaic: She reacts outspokenly to developing wartime events. She is frank about her clashes with her spouse. She devotedly details her children's misbehavior and growth. She is openly hostile to the Nazi and Bolshevik invaders. She is devastated by her left-behind family's sufferings. She reminisces about her lost lifestyle and former lovers. There are several improbable narrow escapes. And there is a shocking surprise in the middle of it. A diary can be a window into a soul - its personality, virtues, and priorities. This one is that.
