FLIGHT: A MEMOIR OF LOSS AND DISCOVERY BY AN AVIATOR'S DAUGHTER
This memoir centers on a daughter's search for her father, a Lithuanian aviation pioneer who was captured by the enemy during World War II and disappeared in a Soviet prison. The author, a longtime journalist, follows four generations of a family caught up in the tumultuous history of Eastern Europe through both World Wars, into exile, resettlement in the United States, and beyond, through the Singing Revolution that liberated one small defiant country on the Baltic Sea from the grip of the USSR. The author paints vivid details of everyday life within the grand sweep of history. The reader will hear echoes in our own lives and times.

Condition: New Book. Paperback. 308 pp. An aviator's daughter searches for traces of her father who disappeared in a Soviet prison during World War II. Rasa Gustaitis, who was a child when she fled Lithuania and came to America, centers this compelling historical memoir on her pursuit of traces of her father, last known to be in a grim Soviet prison. A lifelong journalist, the author follows four generations of a family caught up in the tumultuous history of Eastern Europe, beginning with the childhoods of her extraordinary parents and continuing to the Singing Revolution that liberated one small, defiant country from the grip of the USSR. Flight is eye-opening, the story of a little-examined landscape within a war that changed the world. The author paints the details of everyday life with poignancy and joy, while placing individual lives within the grand sweep of history. Like all the best accounts of the past, this beautifully written book leaves us with food for thought about our own lives and times. Seller Inventory # 28065
