Books: The Appointment by Herta Müller

Today Romania is a Republic and enjoys a good relationship with many countries, the United States being one of them. But this was not always the case.
There was a time when Romania was ruled by a ruthless and oppressive dictator, Nicolae Ceaușescu. He is no longer with us.
One can imagine all the Romanians were likely dancing in the streets the day of his execution. It was also Christmas Day so they would have been celebrating anyway.

Herta Müller received a Nobel Prize for Literature.
Born in Romania, she lived during the Ceaușescu regime. She escaped. Her novel “The Appointment incorporates some of her own personal experiences.   The story is about a young Romanian woman who has an appointment that she must keep.

The story begins :

I’ve been summoned. Thursday, at ten sharp.”

The story ends :

The trick is not to go mad.”

The lines in between paint a clear picture of what life was like in Communist Romania.
It's a quick read.  About 200 pages.
