In war-torn Belarus, survival is a daily act of defiance.Tomorrow is Yesterday plunges the reader into the chaos of WWII, where the people of a small Belarusian village are trapped between two brutal occupiers - the Soviets and the Nazis. Through the eyes of Mary Karaway, a young teacher whose life is shattered by violence, Kastü Aküa delivers an unflinching portrait of fear, endurance, and the moral tightrope of life under double occupation.First published in 1968 for a Canadian audience, this is Aküa's only novel written in English. It carries the raw, unpolished power of a witness to the era he portrays. His prose is direct, at times archaic, with the urgency and rough edges of a story that demands to be told. It is not a polished modern reconstruction, but the voice of its time - immediate, imperfect, and unmistakably real.Reissued to mark the centenary of Aküa's birth, Tomorrow is Yesterday is a rare, uncensored Belarusian perspective to the literature of WWII.
