<p>THE ENDLESS STEPPE is based on the author's true-life experience. It is one of The Originals from Penguin - iconic, outspoken, first. <br><br>Esther Rudomin was ten years old when, in 1941, she and her family were arrested by the Russians for being 'capitalists' and transported to Siberia. The next five years spent were spent in exile where they went barefoot and hungry until the end of the Second World War. Despite the hardships endured, Esther's story radiates optimism and is a beautiful example of the resilience of the human spirit. Readers inspired by <i>The Diary of Anne Frank, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas </i>or <i>The Book Thief </i>will love this book too.<br><br>The Originals are the pioneers of fiction for young adults.
