In the summer of 1977, seventeen-year-old Mona Manoliu falls in
love with Mihai, a green-eyed boy who lives in Brasov, the romantic
mountain city where she spends her summers. But under the Ceausescu
dictatorship, paranoia infects everyone; soon Mona begins to
suspect that Mihai is part of the secret police. As food shortages
worsen and her loved ones begin to disappear, Mona realizes that
she too must leave. Over the next twenty years, she struggles to
bury her longing for the past, yet she eventually finds herself
compelled to return, determined to learn the truth about her one
great love.
