Dear Comrade Novák

More about the book

From the author of A Century Divided There is no such thing as a private life in the Socialist Republic. There is no such thing as a homosexual. No such thing as love. Not a single case of AIDS occurred in the East. Those corrupt Western ideas simply don't exist in a perfect world. In 1980s communist Romania, three school graduates form an unusual friendship: young Attila, who's in love with his 45-year-old teacher; Tiberius, son of high class secret police parents; and the gypsy Viorica, who is forced into a marriage arranged when she was four. When a conspiracy scandal throws their life upside down, all three of them will have to choose their sides: for or against the cruel tyrant Ceausescu. A story about conspiracy and revolution, love and hate, and the strong power of friendship.
