In 1971 a retired English bookseller joined an Amnesty International campaign to write letters to children of political prisoners. He chose sevenyearold Marina Aidova because her birthday was one day before his, and he had always loved Russia and its literature. His postcard was signed, "With love from Newbury, Berks, England." Marina, whose father was in one of the harshest Soviet prison camps, wrote back: "I am a first class schoolgirl. I learn ballet and study English. And what are you?"So began a correspondence that changed their lives. For the next fifteen years they exchanged letters, telegrams, magazines, and books . . . while a profound affection grew. Marina and her mother drew great strength from the exchangeit was a lifeline to another, more hopeful world. Through Harold's encouragement, Marina was inspired to study English at university, and eventually went on to work as an English translator.Published in association with Amnesty International, the families' correspondencealong with over thirty photos they exchangedis collected here, making for a moving look at the powerful influence one family can have on another in need, halfway around the world.Anna HorsbrughPorter is a radio producer who has worked for the BBC World Service, BBC Radio Four, and independent production companies.Marina Aidova works as an English translator for international organizations including the IMF.
