The land of green plums

by Herta Müller

"The Faithful River is one of the great novels of Central and East European literature. It is a complex, dramatic, story in which a passionate love affair is played out against a background of wartime privations, and the Polish struggle for independence is set against other conflicts of gender, sexuality, and class."--BOOK JACKET.
