Review: Kafka's House

What was life like for a young girl in Communist Romania?  Kafka's House tells the story of 10 year old Silvia in 1968 at around the time Russia invades Czechoslovakia and Big Brother rears its ugly head.  It's very even paced, but perhaps a bit slow to start.  There is a sense of innocence as the story is told from a child's point of view.  I wish it didn't end as abruptly as it did, I really wanted to what happened next to Silvia.  Although it describes a tough time, the story is full of warmth and more importantly: hope.
