Indignity by Lea Ypi
When Lea Ypi finds a stranger’s photograph of her grandmother honeymooning in 1941, she launches an inquiry into a family history that seems at odds with what she was told. Moving between archives, memories and fragmentary records, the book traces the vanished worlds of Ottoman Salonica, the turmoil of the Balkans, war and the rise of communism to ask who her grandmother really was. It is a reflective investigation of identity, historical truth and how we judge the choices of past generations.
