Hansen's Children A Journey Into the Dark Heart of Romania

"Set in Europe's last leper colony during the twilight years of Nicolae Ceaucescu's esoteric Romania, it offers a glimpse into a hidden and frightening world: a world heading inexorably toward change and uncertainty and to a Europe unprepared for its horrors. Dark and brooding, but with moments of great sensitivity and humour, it is, quite simply, an exceptional work."--Back cover.
