I love this book. It was my most reread during middle school and rereading it now, 17 years on, hasn't changed it all that much. I'll hopefully be meeting Juliet at a convention soon, so the revisit was comforting. I've not yet read any of her other work so aiming to read some more before then.

This is a powerful tale about a boy named Jozef living in a war-torn world. As he struggles with fear and loss, Jozef learns the importance of storytelling as a way to cope with the horrors around him. The book beautifully combines adventure with deep emotions, showing how stories can help heal and give hope even in the darkest times. It's a touching read that encourages kids to find their own voice.

This 1993 novel was rejuvenated when Müller won the Nobel Prize. It is powerful, but tough going and I struggled through (but felt it!). A series of sketches of life as a college-educated political dissident under Ceaușescu, with constant harassment, abuse, economic strain and suicides. Relentlessly bleak.

Suet624 I‘m curious about this one but I‘m not sure I can handle more bleak. 1y
Graywacke @Suet624 Müller has a thing for soul destroying books. 1y

Trying to get into this view of Romania under Ceaușescu. Normally I easily embrace these impressionistic sketches. But I‘ve been reading fun stuff lately, including a lot of Chaucer, and I think I‘m struggling a bit to be a properly horrified mindset. 🙂 Anyway, getting going.
