A Semester in Lviv

In 2001, the author embarked on an exciting journey to discover her roots in Lviv, Ukraine. Though raised with the Ukrainian language and culture, restrictions under the Iron Curtain had prevented her from knowing what day-to-day life in her ancestral homeland was really like. Armed with a journal, her curiousity and a sense of adventure, the author aimed to immerse herself into student life in order to later share her observations with others. Her travel diary documents many of her interesting and unique cultural experiences. Originally published in Ukrainian in 2003, this is the first English language edition.
