Russian activist Yelena Bonner (1923 - 2011) was the second wife of dissident, nuclear physicist and Nobel Peace Prize winner of 1975), in whose honor the annual Sakharov Prize is awarded. Sakharov, for protest against USSR intervention in Afghanistan in 1979, was exiled to Gorky from 1980 to 1986. Then, in 1984, Sakharov went on a hunger strike so Elena could travel to the US for heart surgery. This book was written during her 6-month stay in Boston. Initially conceived as a book about Sakharov, it became words written for him while apart. She returned to Gorky in June 1986.
