Tomorrow is Yesterday

<p>In war-torn Belarus survival is a daily act of defiance.</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Tomorrow is Yesterday</em></strong> plunges the reader into the chaos of WWII where the people of a small Belarusian village are trapped between two brutal occupiers - the Soviets and the Nazis. Through the eyes of Mary Karaway a young teacher whose life is shattered by violence Kastuś Akuła delivers an unflinching portrait of fear endurance and the moral tightrope of life under double occupation.</p><p></p><p>First published in 1968 for a Canadian audience this is Akuła's only novel written in English. It carries the raw unpolished power of a witness to the era he portrays. His prose is direct at times archaic with the urgency and rough edges of a story that demands to be told. It is not a polished modern reconstruction but the voice of its time - immediate imperfect and unmistakably real.</p><p></p><p>Reissued to mark the centenary of Akuła's birth Tomorrow is Yesterday is a rare uncensored Belarusian perspective to the literature of WWII.</p>
