Synopsis
2009 Nobel Prize winner Herta Müller's autobiographical novel follows the fates of five college friends in Romania who are scattered across the country by state-assigned jobs following their graduation. The unnamed female narrator is, like Müller, a German minority, who struggles to maintain contact with her supportive core of friends, despite constant government supervision. The narrator's life is further complicated when she befriends the daughter of a local Party member against her better judgment. As the regime of Nicolae Ceausescu begins to crumble, the state attempts to tighten its grip on the populace, with disastrous results for the protagonist. Müller dedicated the novel to all of her friends who died at the hands of the Romanian Communist Party.

Herta Muller's first work to be translated into English, THE LAND OF GREEN PLUMS tells the story of a young woman and her friends in Ceausescu's Rumania, who travel from the provinces in search of better prospects in the city. But things are no better there. The narrator watches while totalitarianism infiltrates the lives of her friends, and her own life, causing suicide, betrayal, and corruption in rulers and citizenry alike.

Publisher's Note
Muller takes an unflinching look at the alienation and complexity of a rapidly changing Eastern Europe, focusing on a group of young friends in Ceaucescu's Romania.

Industry Reviews
"Not a pretty picture by any means, but, still, a powerful, affecting story--one that makes clear the real value of small triumphs and fleeting moments of happiness when they occur in the context of deprivation and incalculable loss."
Tanenbaum

"In Herta Müller's Romania, work, family, friendships, love are all perverted by a system that destroys their meaning."
Boston Book Review - Elizabeth Shostak (03/01/1997)
