WE ARE THE HIMALAYAS

$5.40 – $15.00

Anna Larina was the wife of one of the architects of the Russian Revolution, Nikolai Bukharin. With his downfall and execution, she was persecuted for twenty years, separated from her family, and spent her prime years in a succession of gulags. Witnessing both the rise of the Revolution, and purges it conducted, she lived both sides of the hypocrisy of Stalin’s rule. She was loved as the partner of the golden child of the Revolution, and then condemned as the partner of a traitor. Through her, we see the human cost of ideology, and the unimaginable triumph of the human spirit.

EXTRACT: He is a rainbow. Weeks, perhaps months, go by and you donâ€™t see him, you donâ€™t think about him and then he appears. And everything is changed and fresh and you wonder how you lived without him and you pray he will never leave.
