Product Description
Product Description
Travelling with friends through Romania in 1977, Helena Drysdale met George Cupar, an Orthodox priest-poet. They drank wine in Transylvanian forests and avoided the secret police, camping beneath the Carpathian moon. When she returned home, George wrote her letters full of criticism of the Romanian regime amd asking her to marry him and to help him escape; eventually the letters stopped. Twelve years later, Helena returned to Romania in search of George. This book tells the story of her journey, which took her from Orthodox monasteries to prison-asylums, and from George's family to Securitate "colonels" in a country trapped in a labyrinth of post-communist paranoia.
