Book Review of The Twelve Little Cakes

The Twelve Little Cakes

Such a good book about a little girl growing up in Communist Czecholosovakia in the 1970's and 80's. One of my new favorites but as I never reread books, it can become yours too!

Well-written, articulate and fascinating. A political memoir (the girl's family were considered dissidents) without the political explanations. Focused on real life trials and triumphs.

I love memoirs about Central/Eastern Europe so if you have any, let me know and I'll request them.
