How can I put into words how much I loved this book? It might seem like a trivial thing to say everything I found in the book reminded me of half-buried memories of older family members and friends, ibcluding my husband's, and their stories about living under communist regime. I was only 2 when the regime fell, so I have no personal recollection of what happened. However, if I may add one thing, it's a reflection on what has been gained. So many sacrifices from big-hearted people for so little... We have gained the freedom Romanians from past eras so dearly paid for only to feel it hasn't done us much good. Despite this, many thanks to Ruta Sepetys for drawing attention to this little known page of history. This was a page-turner for me and and won't be the last of her books I read.
