She and her husband Liviu are teachers in their twenties, living under the repressive regime of Communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu in the Socialist Republic of Romania in the 1970s. But after her brother-in-law defects, Alina and Liviu fall under suspicion and surveillance, and their lives are suddenly turned upside down--just like the glasses in her superstitious Aunt Theresa's house that are used to ward off evil spirits. But Alina's evil spirits are more corporeal: a suffocating, manipulative mother; a student who accuses her; and a menacing Secret Services agent who makes one-too-many visits. As the couple continues to be harassed, their marriage soon deteriorates. With the government watching--and most likely listening-- escape seems impossible ... until Alina's mystical aunt proposes a surprising solution to reduce her problems to a manageable size"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Married people $z Romania $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $z Romania $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Communism and religion $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Marital conflict $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secret service $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Romania $x History $y 1944-1989 $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Married people. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010656 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Communism and religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00870529 651 7 $a Romania. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205085 648 7 $a 1944-1989 $2 fast 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210331010101.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210302015708.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20200909010459.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BFA499BCF26111EA8A94DB3240ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
