Victoria has just recently moved from Zurich back to her hometown
of Bucharest when the bank where she works is robbed. Put on leave
so that she can process the trauma of the robbery, Victoria strolls
around town. Each street triggers sudden visions as memories from
her childhood under the Ceausescu regime begin to mix with the
radically changed city and the strange world in which she now finds
herself. As the walls of reality begin to crumble, Victoria and her
former self cross paths with the bank robber and a rich cast of
characters, weaving a vivid portrait of Romania and one woman's
self-discovery. In her stunning second novel, Swiss-Romanian writer
Dana Grigorcea paints a series of extraordinarily colourful
pictures. With humor and wit, she describes a world full of myriad
surprises where new and old cultures weave together--a world
bursting with character and spirit.
