Title: Rand's early life?
Review: Anyone interested in reading Rand's fiction should start with this book. It's the first she wrote and, via the depiction of the horrible life it's protagonist leads (seemingly somewhat autobiographical) you can see where Rand's later philosophies and excesses stem from. A moving story of an idealistic, free-thinking young woman's doomed attempts to live her life under Soviet rule. No one who reads this book can come away unappreciative of life in a democracy where individuals have a much greater degree of self-determination.
