Memories is a blackly funny and heartbreaking account of her final, frantic journey into exile across Russia - travelling by cart, freight train and rickety steamer - and the 'ordinary and unheroic' people she encounters. Fusing exuberant wit and bitter horror, this is an extraordinary portrayal of what it means to say goodbye, and confirms Teffi as one of the most humane, perceptive observers of her times, and an essential writer for ours.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: BiographyAuthor: TeffiRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
