Description

The Endless Steppe is based on the true-life experience of Esther Rudomin, who at just ten years old was arrested by the Russians in 1941 and transported to Siberia with her family. For the next five years, they endured extreme hardship, going barefoot and hungry until the end of World War II.

Despite the unimaginable challenges she faced, Esther's story radiates optimism and is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Her experience will resonate with readers who have been touched by stories like The Diary of Anne Frank, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, or The Book Thief.

This powerful and moving memoir is part of Penguin Books' collection of iconic and outspoken books for young adults, known as The Originals. It confronts big issues and articulates difficult truths, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in history, politics, and the human condition.
