Pretending to Sleep: A Communism Survivor's Short Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798610909844)

I cannot overly recommend this 40-odd page jewel. It's a painful piece, but that's its strength, really. And it is also a story which literally cannot be told too strongly or too often. --David Weber, Bestselling Author of the Honor Harrington novelsBased on actual events, this short story provides a quick glimpse into life under Ceaucescu's brutal communist regime. Like so many Romanians, ten-year-old Renata lives in fear of Securitate (Ceaucescu's secret police). They don't always take you in the middle of the night. In a world where the living envy the dead, not all examples are made in the shadows. Some are made in the light of day.
