I don’t even have words to describe the impact this book has had on me. Reading is a window to the past and to the truth and to being a better person - and this book I’d probably the strongest account of that sentiment that I have ever experienced. It is fiction, but really, it’s not. This heart-wrenching and emotional account of Romania’s history is a must read for everyone, thought-provoking and eye-opening in so many ways. I can’t recommend this book enough. I just wish it was longer!
