SYNOPSIS: Flight from Sorrow is the true story of an ordinary woman whose extraordinary life brought her face to face with all the brutalities of the twentieth century. When cancer killed Tamara Wall at forty seven, the friends at her memorial service were prepared for sorrow but not for surprise. They knew her vivacity, but, amazingly, almost none of them knew her biography. Born in Germany in the 1930s, the daughter of a German-Jewish mother and a Russian-Jewish father, she and her mother and brothers were shunted from Nazi Germany to Stalin's Siberia, where she alone of the four survived; in the chaotic aftermath of war, she was reunited with her father in Oregon and spent her teens there; she moved to Washington, married a man who beat her, raised alone a handicapped daughter, lost her job because she was the innocent victim of a Capitol Hill scandal--it is little wonder that, when felicity Barringer's seven-part profile of tamara Wall ran in the Washington Post, it became one of the most talked-about feature stories in the history of the paper. Now, expanded to book length, Flight from Sorrow is astonishing testimony to a woman's indomitability. Felicity Barringer is a reporter for the Washington Post. She grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs and attended Stanford University. She worked at the Philadelphia Bulletin and the Bergen (N.J.) Record before coming to the Post. She lives in Washington, D. C., with her husband, Philip Taubman, who is a reporter for the New York Times, and their son Michael. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Ex-Library. Codice articolo 003838
