The Snows of Yesteryear (1989) is Gregor von Rezzori’s haunting evocation of his childhood in Czernowitz in present-day Ukraine. Growing up after the First World War Rezzori portrays a twilit world suspended between the dying ways of an imperial past and the terrors of the twentieth century. He recalls his volatile boar-hunting father his earthy nursemaid his fragile aristocratic mother his adored governess and the tragic death of his beloved sister in a luminous story of war unrest eccentricity folk tales dark forests night flights and what it is like to lose your home.
