Quarantine Reflections across Two Worlds is a captivating memoir about life in two strikingly different worlds, an ardent defense of freedom, and a thought-provoking analysis of current events and ideologies. Nora D. Clinton shares her story of growing up in Bulgaria-from her childhood under communism, to watching the Berlin Wall fall in twelfth grade, to arriving in America, which she made her home. Throughout, she illustrates the dangers of utopian abstractions and the need for common sense and humanity. Her story is for anyone trying to fathom the current surreal reality-fascination with socialism, 2020 pandemic and protests, and so much more.

It is all about basic humanity, so often drowned these days by enthusiastic efforts to promote abstract 'values.' The author reminds us that totalitarian mentality is essentially anti-humanist-no matter whether it claims to be defending a communist or a Nazi state, a nature deprived of people, or the equality of sexes by imposing manufactured uniformity of their roles.
