Stephen Henighan, a Romanian grammar book and hours of language
tapes under his belt, billets with a family as an English teacher
in Moldova, a country born from the dismantling of Romania during
World War II. As a Westerner in this "lost province" and former
Soviet republic, Henighan feels he's an unnerving disappointment
for many Moldovans, especially to the MTV-addicted, twenty-year-old
Andrei. As a Canadian, Henighan feels at home in this nation
adrift. Fifty years of Soviet propaganda have dictated that the
Moldovan language is a "degenerate local patois, only distantly
related to Romanian." The innocent observation by the author that
Moldovan and Romanian are the same language is revolutionary in the
tense climate of post-Soviet Moldova, and suddenly Henighan is
embroiled in the fierce language-law debates that have thrown the
entire country into upheaval.
