My friend Carolyn lent me ‘I Must Betray You’ by Ruta Sepetys. A gripping tale based on surviving the brutal Ceausescu regime in Romania. A young man, Cristian, is an aspiring writer and poet. Life is a torment due to extreme state-sponsored poverty, excessive control, and fostered distrust of everyone one encounters. At his peril, Cristian chooses to listen to his conscience. Two-thirds in and already highly recommend it.
Glad you are enjoying the book. I really liked it too.
