'Enjoyable to read' - Dolly Alderton, The High Low.
When Alina's brother-in-law defects to the West, she and her husband become persons of interest to the secret services, causing both of their careers to come grinding to a halt. As the strain takes its toll on their marriage, Alina turns to her aunt for help - the wife of a communist leader and a secret practitioner of the old folk ways. Set in 1970s communist Romania, this novella-in-flash draws upon magic realism to weave a tale of everyday troubles that can't be put down.
'A story to savour, to smile at, to rage against and to weep over.' - Zoe Gilbert, author of 'Folk'
