Filled with gorgeous metaphors and imagery, has a wonderful writing style that portrays Mona's voice wonderfully. Was not quite convinced of the romance between Mihai and Mona at the start of the book, but it grew on me over the course of the story. Also, I felt that perhaps Mona had one too many symbolic dreams, or that at times the metaphoric imagery was over-used, however, I feel like this gave me a really good insight into Romania in this time and place, including the culture and the importance of family, language and good food. Very very moving. ( ) Une intellectuelle roumaine fuit son pays du temps de en passant par Trieste. Récit intéressant, surtout du fait de l'évocation de l'ambiance et de la civilisation d'Europe de l'Est avant la chute du Mur de Berlin. Mais le livre manque curieusement d'unité, la deuxième partie sur la vie américaine de l'exilée n'ayant que peu de liens avec le récit de sa fuite. Train to Trieste follows the life of Mona Manoliu starting when she is a teenager in Romania during the reign of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. Times are hard, there are food shortages and restrictions everywhere, and people live in fear and suspicion. However, life goes on, and in the midst of the fear and deprivation Mona falls in love for the first time with a mysterious boy named Mihai. When Mona's family begins to die in improbable accidents she flees Romania for safety. Years later she is living in America, trying to forget her past and build a new life. But she can't forget Mihai, her first love, and the summer she left him behind. She returns to Romania determined to learn the truth of what happened the summer she left. This book is a nice addition to the many historical fiction books that have become so popular. It gives a clear accounting of what happened in Romania in the late 1970's under Ceausescu and how it affected the lives of ordinary people. The story is beautifully and poetically written. Unfortunately the plot is a bit slow and its easy to lose interest in Mona's plight. I listened to this book on audio, read by Yelena Shmulenson and her thick Yiddish accent definitely adds a lot of atmosphere to the story. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
