Wow. I am hooked. I love historical fiction, and I love stories that show what life was really like for 'real people' and this book (based on the first look) is giving us a VERY clear picture of life in communist Romania, which is a time period and place I know basically nothing about so am looking forward to this book vey much.
Lines such as: "...vampire to the necks of millions. Illegal metaphor? Absolutely." and "A college student was discovered with an unregistered typewriter. He was sent to prison." Show me that gorgeous writing and terrifying glimpses into daily life are going to make this a book I won't be able to turn down.
