“My father, grandmother, mother and two mother-in-laws died in deep sorrow. It was 30 years that destroyed my life. When I left Tirana, I was only 34 years old, in full bloom, when I returned, a broken old woman. And, the most terrible thing was that my children suffered in prisons and deportations, or from other persecutions, the five brothers with their families and the husband’s relatives, up to cousins and friends.”
