ROU

A novel by Andreea Mitro

Romania, December 1989. Alecsandra Stoica is twenty years old when her father walks into the revolution and does not come home. The country gets its freedom. She has to go find her own.

Coming soon.

I have carried this story for twenty years. ROU is fiction. But it grew out of my family’s history, and there is something true in every part of it.

The cover is a painting on canvas by my father, Mitro.
