Samenvatting
The best travel writers are cool-headed, reliable reporters who offer us rare glimpses into foreign lands. Through such stories, we experience the writer's transformation from outsider to insider, and witness a blossoming love affair with the people, the land, the history. Weiss invites us into Moldova, the poorest country in Europe ... and teaches us the importance of immersing oneself in another culture, reminding us that sometimes to find ourselves, we must risk getting lost.
~ Angela Morales, author of 'The Girls In My Town'

Weiss writes beautifully, and brings the post-Soviet society to life, with humor, keen observation, and compassion.
~ Peter Hessler, author of 'River Town' and 'Oracle Bones'
