Through her eyes, we roam the streets of a contemporary Moldovan village populated almost entirely with children and old people. Just as most of the inhabitants left their countryside and homes with the desire to earn a better income, their parents also went to the world for money, the mother to Italy, the father to Siberia, and the children were left to fend for themselves. Here the youth must learn to survive on their own; they grow up fast, imitating the gestures of the absent adults, and chasing their fading memories of normal family life. This follow-up to Liliana Corobca's critically-acclaimed novel of censorship in eastern Europe, The Censor's Notebook is a novel that deals with a painful true reality, which has over time grown to become a phenomenon: the lives and struggles of children left home alone by parents who have gone to work abroad"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Abandoned children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a First-born children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Poor $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Siblings $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Moldova $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Cure, Monica, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011934.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5882C080CD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
