*** ***
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. She investigates the truth about her family's past by tracing the steps of her grandmother through 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. With its philosophical depth and historical context, the book blends memoir and historical investigation, exploring the struggle to preserve individual dignity against grand political narratives and surveillance. Indignity is both about Ypi's personal journey and about survival in an age of extremes, about what we can truly know about those closest to us and about the moral authority with which we can judge the acts of previous generations.
