review 1: Honestly, In the beginning i skipped over some(somethings seemed to wordy&unnecessary) BUT! once o got passed the unneccessaries i was hooked! I really enjoyed it. Mona & Mihai's love was crazy i loved mihai's character =) In the end i begged for more i felt so cut off i was a bit dissapionted, i just wished there was abit more.However, i think how it ended was perfect b/c i guess that was all that was left ( her &mihai) hopefully i made sense XD
review 2: The protagonist discovers love as a teenager in the repressive Romania of Ceaucescu and then flees the demons (real and imagined) that haunt her to find a new life in America. Although she gains a mature sense of self, she remains nostalgic for the land she has left and the life and love she has lost by leavi... moreng. Her appreciation for the land and its people infuses her passion for her lover with a chthonic power which imprints itself on her soul as an innate releasing mechanism that abides until her return to the Carpathians, following the overthrow of the dictator. One senses that there is much of the author's own love for Romania in the work, and that gives rise to almost poetic caresses in her descriptions of the land and its natives. Although framed by hard political realities, this is a love story told with passion and without illusions. less
