This series of vignettes and short stories packs quite a punch. Revolving around MÃ¼ller's own childhood in rural Romania the razor sharp simplicity of her prose as she describes everyday life is undercut by dark currents of privation and violence. Her impressions are child-like without being childish and it's a hard world that she recreates where the spectres of war and the State loom large, one which sometimes slips over into nightmare #24in48

saresmoore I‘m impressed that your internal clock came through and you did the 5am wake up! At 5:30, I glanced at my watch, then rolled over for another 30 minute snooze. 6y

Moray_Reads @saresmoore I was tempted but I was awake. I woke up at exactly 4.59 because my internal clock is just that good! 6y

Today our Nobelistas Bookclub met to discuss this book available in English as Nadirs. We concluded that Herta Müller presents stories of violence in a very poetic way. Hoy celebramos la Sexta reunión de Nobelistas. Concluimos que Herta Müller narra la violencia en una forma muy poética.
