poetic_liz's review against another edition
4.5
A wonderful biography that combines personal growth and anecdotes with a very well articulated political and societal analysis. It's well written, easy to read, and still brings its points across very well without forcing a perspective on you. It is definitely a book that takes your hand to lead you on a journey to make up your own mind.

la mayor parte del libro es lenta porque son distintas anecdotas de la vida de lea Ypi durante el. comunismo / el. comienzo del liberalismo en Albania que son muy graciosas a veces y usa para contar los conceptos de libertad en ambos sistemas... sin embargo las ultimas 80 paginas las acabe del. tiron porque me Engancharon un monton y no podia parar de leer.... otro10/10

Lea Ypi tells the tale of her personal journey of communism in Albania and how it shaped her life (and eventual career) and the lives of those in her family. I found her narrative very enthralling, informative and reflective, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.
