Review: Romanian Cider with Rosie
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 01 20, 2014
This book reads like an autobiography, in the same vein as Cider With Rosie, buy from the perspective of a 10 year old Romanian child. It was quaint and interesting rather than the most gripping read I've ever had, but sometimes its the little things that matter.Life is hard by modern standards but Silvia and her friends make the best of it, because that it all they know. Even having grown up in a modern western country, the things Silvia is concerned about, school work, family, friends and childhood enemies, school trips and a healthy fantasy life resonated with me.The language is a little stilted, but rather than being annoying, it adds to the atmosphere of the story.
