β¦ Synopsis
βOrmsby recounts the mishaps, muddles and privations that make daily life hard for Romanians, and even harder for outsiders. But through it all comes a strange sort of affection for a place, and its people, as they struggle to regain their sanity after the years of madness under CeauΘescu. If youβre going to Romania, itβs better than a guide book.β β Ivor Gaber, Tribune (UK)
