title: Siberian Exile: Blood, War, and a Granddaughter's Reckoning
author:  Julija Sukys 
description: <DIV>&quot;Julija &Scaron;ukys&rsquo; <I>Siberian Exile: Blood, War, and a Granddaughter&#39;s Reckoning</I>&#160;. . . is a book both about storytelling and about the inability, sometimes, to tell stories. &Scaron;ukys attempts, in this book, to reconstruct the lives of her Lithuanian grandfather and grandmother, but in so doing, she discovers family and political secrets that unsettle the project and her relationship to her past, to the past of her family, and to the act of narrating history itself.&quot;&mdash;Vivian Wagner,&#160;<I>Brevity</I></DIV> (Vivian Wagner <i>Brevity</i> 2018-05-15)<br /><br /><DIV>&quot;[<I>Siberian Exile</I>]&#160;is the wonderfully written, emotional, and real account of discovery and family secrets.&quot;&mdash;Curtis Woodcock,&#160;<I>Phoenix</I></DIV> (Curtis Woodcock <i>Phoenix</i> 2018-02-25)<br /><br /><DIV>&quot;Julija &Scaron;ukys reads between the lines of historical and personal documents to tell the tale of grandparents separated by deportation during the middle of the last century. . . . Because silence fills the plot holes in family stories and swallows wide swathes of history, stories such as <I>Siberian Exile</I> become all that more important.&quot;&mdash;Kerry Kubilius,&#160;<I>Vilnius Review</I></DIV> (Kerry Kubilius <i>Vilnius Review</i> 2018-12-06)<br /><br /><DIV>&ldquo;Interweaving coincidences and reversals with historical precision in a narrative that&#160;layers, folds, zags and spikes, Julija &Scaron;ukys wanders the ghost-filled streets of the present, mingling with kin, real and imagined, and corresponding with multiple unspeakable pasts. I can&rsquo;t recall the last time I read so gripping and so delicate a documentary of atrocity, complicity, dispossession, and survival. <I>Siberian Exile</I> is remarkable, daunting, and disarmingly real.&rdquo;&mdash;Mary Cappello, author of <I>Life Breaks In: A Mood Almanack</I><BR /> &#160;</DIV> (Mary Cappello 2017-08-02)<br /><br /><DIV>&ldquo;Riveting. . . . Beyond the historical and familial narrative, Julija &Scaron;ukys ponders her own exile and her own complicity, allowing readers to do the same, comparing versions of selves and asking which version is truest, an impossible question, but one readers will find as enthralling as these pages.&rdquo;&mdash;Patrick Madden, author of <I>Sublime Physick</I> and <I>Quotidiana</I></DIV> (Patrick Madden 2017-02-24)<br /><br /><DIV>&ldquo;All families harbor secrets. What if, in blithe innocence, you set out to research your family history, only to discover that your grandfather was guilty of the most heinous of crimes? &Scaron;ukys pursues her tragic family memoir with courage and self-examination, often propelled to her painful discoveries by what she believes is a bizarre synchronicity. This is not a book written at a safe distance.&rdquo;&mdash;Rosemary Sullivan, author of <I>Stalin&rsquo;s Daughter: The Extraordinary and Tumultuous Life of Svetlana Alliluyeva</I><BR /> &#160;</DIV> (Rosemary Sullivan 2017-02-24)

  Sirius Vermillion was worried.
  
  
  Stella, his beloved daughter who had returned from Japan after a long time.
  
  
  Her eyes that were looking at him… were rather cold.
  
  
  Scornful-looking eyes.
  
  
  Like eyes looking at trash.
  
  
  He was also ignored. She reluctantly answered even when he persistently talked
  to her.
  
  
  _When are you going to grow up!? You’re the father of the bride!_ That was
  what Stella said to him.
  
  
  Why did something like this happen?
  
  
  The reason was evident.
  
  
  Everything was…. Because of that brat.
  
  
  Kurogane Ikki…!
  
  
  That Japanese kidnapped the pure Stella at the study abroad destination.
  
  
  Stella was being deceived by him.
  
  
  So, Sirius took actions to protect Stella.
  
  
  He wanted Ikki on the wanted list and sent the army after him using his
  authority as a King.
  
  
  But all of them were vain attempts.
  
  
  He managed to placate Danda
