Book excerpt: `A compelling and highly personal narrative, Red' Quarter Moon adds much to our knowledge on the lives of the individuals and families who survived the Stalin era, yet lived behind the Iron Curtain for so many years.' Marlene Epp, Conrad Grebel University College, University of Waterloo This is a gripping story of individuals caught in an inhuman world ... With admirable persistence, Anne Konrad has managed to trace the lives of most of her relatives affected by these tragic times. She has scanned archives and collected testimonies in several continents, ranging from Canada to Ukraine, to Siberia, to Paraguay. Konrad offers a unique perspective on the personal costs of religion in Russia. From the foreword by Hiroaki Kuromiya
