In the imagination of little Ana, the house on the old San Juan street in the Transylvanian city of Kronstadt has a face, thoughts and feelings. It has heroically survived two earthquakes, two world wars and a bomb attack, while its 'relatives' opposite had to give way to a high-rise hotel. Ioana Pârvulescu, originally from this same city, tells in her novel the story of the inhabitants of this house over several generations and changing nationalities. This is a luminous account of a dark period, the 20th century, in which the family and the city survived first the pro-Nazi fascist regime and later the ruthless communist dictatorship of Ceaucescu.
