FICTION

A TRAITOR'S DAUGHTER

Anna Lorme
translated by Robert Bononno
French Expressions Series

"Affecting and chilling ... Lorme's use of dispassionate diaristic voice givers her book an edge."
—Publishers Weekly

"Searingly re-creates one of the darkest periods in Russian history."
—Kirkus Reviews

"This novel's child narrator tells her story with a directness that often makes the reader flinch .... Her lack of childish innocence is jarring but understandable; in the long run, it is the secret of her survival. This is a novel about survival that makes the reader question the very nature of survival."
—Booklist

"As events continue to overtake experiences like Anna Lorme's, her chilling novel will likely remain among the finest, but not, for all its warning, the last."
—Small Press
