Baldly Speaking: The War Years

Vienna, 1932 — a world of luxury and quiet complexity at a family villa in Neuwaldegg. This is the vivid, personal memoir of Tessa Elizabeth Irene Lorant, whose early years were shaped by family turmoil, political upheaval, and the search for self-worth against the backdrop of war and exile. From a father’s cryptic remark about appearance to a hitchhiking trip across Europe that changes everything, Baldly Speaking follows Tessa’s journey to becoming a US citizen and setting off for a life built entirely on her own terms.
