Now in paperback, a haunting story of trauma, memory, and healing
in post-Cold War Romania. 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 colorful 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.
