  • This is a family story of wonderful memories, a tale of tremendous bravery, a story told by a woman looking back on her life. Surrounded by her family, Zuzi relates the details of her story in a matter-of-fact way which I found strangely compelling. She explains that she tells the story with objective distance, "in the third person", as if it were the story of someone else. This is her coping mechanism.
