The Last Lithuanian is a current, powerful, and philosophical telling of an orphaned teenager who fled his homeland in 1944 to escape the clutches of Stalin and deportation to the salt mines of Siberia. In it, the reader is led through twenty-five passageways of understanding the impact of war, migration, foreignness, racism, and the need to belong after losing everything.
‘I am and always will be a refugee, an asylum seeker, and an alien, all facts that I’m rather proud of. I am also a “Bloody Foreigner”, so I have been repeatedly told. It’s a title I have become used to, and now hold as a Badge of Honour.’
The Last Lithuanian poses many questions about the pitfalls and complications of life thereafter, and for all those considered to be alien, different, or altogether ‘other’. Frank, disturbing, and unashamedly shocking, it leaves little unsaid, yet humour, warmth, and love are never far behind.
This book is an insightful and heartfelt exposé that will remain as an ever-repeating echo in the hearts and minds of all those who read it.
