Like a Swallow: Looking Back at a Polish Childhood

By Nina L Camic

Book Overview

Nina Lewandowska Camic writes a compelling narrative about her childhood split between postwar Poland and New York where her father held the position of Polish Ambassador to the United Nations. As her family bounces between the repressive and relatively closed world of an Eastern Bloc nation and the staunchly anti-communist tumultuous America of the 1960s Nina struggles to navigate and adjust to the demands of both. Her story is a very personal one of childhood fears adolescent love and a rapidly disintegrating family life leading her to a surprising place of unexpected challenges and opportunities.
