Neuware -\*Longlisted for the 2026 Women's Prize for Non-Fiction\*Named a Book of the Year by Financial Times, Sunday Times, Prospect, TLS, Washington Post, NPR'Stunningly multilayered. explores what happens when philosophies meet history, when decisions have to be made at the point of a gun' ProspectFrom the acclaimed author of Free comes an imaginative investigation into historical injustice, dignity and truth -- told through the story of a family from the fall of the Ottoman Empire to the dawn of Communism in the Balkans'There is something about the human spirit, she would say, that withstands all attempts at offence, injury or humiliation . we call it dignity'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.

But there Leman was with her husband, Asllan Ypi: glamorous newlyweds while World War II raged.What follows is a thrilling reimagining of the past, as we are transported to 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. While investigating the truth about her family, Ypi grapples with uncertainty. Who is the real Leman Ypi What made her move to Tirana as a young woman and marry a socialist who sympathized with the Popular Front while his father led a collaborationist government And why was she smiling in the winter of 1941 By turns epic and intimate, profound and gripping, Indignity explores what it means to survive in an age of extremes. It reveals the fragility of truth, both personal and political, and the cost of decisions made against the tide of history.
