Popularity 3

The author describes her movements across Europe's scrambled post-war borders--trips to empty castles and ruined cathedrals, a stint in bombed out Warsaw in the midst of the Communist takeover, and nights spent in apartments with distant relatives, friends of friends, and in shabby pensions with little heat, each place echoing with the horrors of war.
