Discovering Verais about the dynamics of communist disintegration in Eastern Europe as witnessed by a remarkable little girl and strikingly beautiful young woman. It is about the fate of a father, who, chased both by the Reds and the Whites, eventually went mad because of the demons within him. It is about the sexual harassment of women in Poland's managerial bureaucracy in the 1980s and the political collapse of the regime - a murky affair, where, from Vera's perspective, the "good guys" are often indistinguishable from the "bad." Most of all it is a love-story between this extraordinary persona and her American professor that begins in their mature years with the thrill of their first encounter in a Warsaw hotel room. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Richard Rapson, Professor of History and Elaine Hatfield, Professor of Psychology, both at the University of Hawaii at Manoa say about Discovering Vera: "It's felt, original, well written, candid, sexually and politically vibrant. The authors pull together a variety of complex narratives, and make them cogent and whole."
