An imaginative investigation into historical injustice, dignity and truth -- told through the story of a family from the fall of the Ottoman Empire to the dawn of Communism in the Balkans.

When Lea Ypi discovers a photo of her grandmother, Leman, honeymooning in the Alps in 1941 posted by a stranger on social media, she is faced with unsettling questions.

Growing up, she was told records of her grandmother’s youth were destroyed in the early days of communism in Albania. But there Leman was with her husband, Asllan Ypi: glamorous newlyweds while World War II raged. What follows is a thrilling reimagining of the past, as we are transported to the vanished world of Ottoman aristocracy, the making of modern Greece and Albania, a global financial crisis, the horrors of war and the dawn of communism in the Balkans.

While investigating the truth about her family, Ypi grapples with uncertainty. Who is the real Leman Ypi? What made her move to Tirana as a young woman and marry a socialist who sympathized with the Popular Front while his father led a collaborationist government? And why was she smiling in the winter of 1941?By turns epic and intimate, profound and gripping, Indignity explores what it means to survive in an age of extremes. It reveals the fragility of truth, both personal and political, and the cost of decisions made against the tide of history.

Through secret police reports of communist spies, court depositions, and Ypi’s memories of her grandmother, we move between present and past, archive and imagination, fact and fiction. Ultimately, she asks, what do we really know about the people closest to us? And with what moral authority do we judge the acts of previous generations?

Good quality but sizing is not accurate
Color: Black, Size: Medium
The vest looks really nice and the fabric feels like good quality, so no complaints there. However, the sizing was not accurate based on the measurements provided. I ordered according to the size chart, but it didn’t fit as expected, so I had to return it. If you’re planning to buy it, I would recommend double checking or maybe sizing up to be safe. Overall, the product itself seems well made, but the sizing issue was disappointing.

Suit jacket
This suite jacket was a perfect fit for my husband. It went well with the vest and tie we also ordered. The material is a good quality it held up all day and night. It's not to heavy to make it uncomfortable. It is perfect for our date nights and special occasions.
