How can I get hold of an English translation of the second volume of
the journals of Anna Akhmatova. The first volume, 1938-41, was
published many years ago, and I have heard that the rest were
published in French, but am very keen to get something in English. I
don't mind what format this would be in - and am only interested in
the journals that follow on from the 1938-41 book. Some books I've
seen on the internet have advertised themselves as being the full
journal, but have turned out to be 1938-41 only.

Could I just add that this is not actually for me, but for my mother,
who is elderly, and has failing health. She's a huge Akhmatova
admirer, and nothing would make her happier than to be able to read
the rest of the journals. Thanks.
