Marzi Vol. 4 - Urban Noise

Marzena Sowa continues her endearing memoir recounting childhood behind the Iron Curtain in Poland. Even at the height of summer vacation deep in the countryside, the noise of urban unrest carries, bringing news of rations, strikes, and Solidarność. Amid a young girl's typical worries-the witch neighbor, the school nurse, her mother's angry temper-come the echoes of the strange and confusing world of adults.
