Description:
"A heartbreaking, human document . . . that ranks comparably to Eugenia Ginzburg's "In the Whirlwind" and Nadezhda Mandelstam's "Hope Against Hope.""--Vladimir Tismaneanu, author of "Reinventing Politics"
"A superb book. Without ever lapsing into self-pity, it allows the reader to enter the nightmarishly vindictive Romanian political prison system."--Daniel Chirot, author of "The Origins of Backwardness in Eastern Europe"
Review Quotes: "[An] expressive, desolate memoir . . ."-- "Publishers Weekly"
