Review of 'Train to Trieste (Vintage)' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A sensual, transportive read. In its strongest moments, [b:Train to Trieste|6766737|Train to Trieste|Domnica Radulescu|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1320544343s/6766737.jpg|2583828] uses imagery from both dreams and wakefulness to evoke the fear of Ceaușescu's Securitate, the intensity of first love, and what it means to be Romanian. While the pacing flags at times and the character development could be stronger, I thoroughly enjoyed accompanying Mona through her life story, so much so that I picked up Radulescu's next novel when I returned this one to the library.
