Author: Gabriela Adamesteanu.
The Instituto Cultural Rumano recommends reading the book A Lost Morning by Gabriela Adamesteanu, the entire recent history of Romania through the eyes of an old woman walking through the streets of Bucharest one morning.
On a cold winter morning, Vica, a seventy-year-old woman, walks alone through the streets of Bucharest. Her intention is to visit her sister and then go to the mansion of her former employer to exchange food and reminisce about old times. Loaded with bags, wrapped in an old shawl and a myriad of scarves, Vica begins a pilgrimage that unravels her life, and at the same time summarises the history of Romania from before World War I to the present day. This is how that lost morning, a few hours that seem to pass between frivolous chatter, queues at bus stops and waiting in front of closed doors, is transformed into an epic of everyday life.
