Reviews

'This book delivers to the reader a good ethnographic study of the modern urban wedding rituals in Lithuania.... It also provides reader with a solid grounding in the life cycle rituals of Lithuanian wedding, in addition to giving the reader a glimpse into the way one former Soviet republic has dealt with and moved away from its Soviet past.' - Meghan Murphy-Lee - Slavic & East European Journal vol 61:02:2017
