Letiția Branea, who now lives in the West, comes back from her exile in France to present-day Bucharest to try to recover her family’s confiscated inheritance. Everything has changed but little has got better: those who win are the ones who elbow their way forward or switch political sides in time. When she meets old friends, blurred memories of her affair with Sorin under communism keep surfacing. Around her a crowd of characters has followed its own path through postcommunist Romania, and the book asks whether, with so heavy a past and so convulsive a present, the country still has a future.
