Liliana Corobca

The story of the deportation of Romanians from Bukovina to the steppes of Siberia, an exercise in historical memory and a powerful story of maintaining humanity in impossible conditions.

A new novel from Liliana Corobca and her translator Monica Cure, winner of the Oxford-Weidenfeld translation prize.

From the author of the award-winning The Censor’s Notebook, a novel about children whose parents have departed for employment in foreign lands, told through the perspective of a young girl who is responsible for her two brothers.

A fascinating narrative of life in communist Romania, and a thought-provoking meditation on the nature of literature and censorship.
