Description: |
Widely regarded as Muller's best novel, The Land of Green Plums is a beautifully written and unflinching portrayal of life under the totalitarian regime of Ceausescu's Romania |
Synopsis: |
Set in Romania at the height of Ceausescu's reign of terror, The Land of Green Plums tells the story of a group of young students, each of whom has left the impoverished provinces in search of better prospects in the city. It is a profound illustration of a totalitarian state which comes to inhabit every aspect of life; to the extent that everyone, event the strongest, must either bend to the oppressors, or resist them and perish. |
