Kapka Kassabova has written a delightful memoir called "Street Without a Name: Childhood and Other Misadventures in Bulgaria." I was especially interested in the book because the Bettendorf Public Library where I spent so many years has a partner library in Montana, Bulgaria and I had spent a couple of weeks there. Kapka's tale of growing up before and during the fall of communism is captivating. Her home was a cement block complex that had a number but no street name. Her life after she left and when she returns to Bulgaria is also interesting. Kapka now lives in Edinburgh from where I visited with her.
