Description

The masterful English debut of Alhierd Bacharevic, a new voice from Belarus Alicia and her brother Avi are imprisoned in a camp on the edge of a forest where children are trained to forget their language through therapy, coercion, drugs, and larynx surgery. The Leid (or Belarusian language) is considered a sickness to be cured and replaced by the only pure form of language, the Lingo (Russian). A contemporary Hansel and Gretel adventure, the children escape into the forest and end up in even greater danger... A feat of translation, Bacharevic’s story is brilliantly rendered into English and Scots from Russian and Belarusian.

Author Biography:

Alhierd Bacharevič grew up in a linguistically-torn country. Despite growing up speaking Russian, Bacharevič rebelled by speaking and writing in Belarusian. In the 1990's he was the founder and vocalist of the first Belarusian language punk band, Pravakacyja ('Provocation'). He is now an award winning author and his works have been translated into French, German, Czech, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Slovene, Russian, Polish and Lithuanian.
