![]() Cristian is to accompany her and befriend the diplomat’s teenage son and report back. His mother cleans the house of an American diplomat. All Cristi has ever known is his family’s bleak apartment, waiting in lines for goods, having to speak softly for fear of being overheard, pictures of the Ceausescus overlooking everything, and knowing that anyone might be an informer.īut when Cristian is called into the principal’s office, he hadn’t been prepared that now he needs to be an informer. ![]() ![]() I Must Betray You is set in Romania in 1989, during the last days of the Ceausescu regime - but seventeen-year-old Cristian Florescu doesn’t know they are the last days. I wish this was ancient history, but I remember well when it happened. This is another book that’s sobering to read during the war in Ukraine. Review written March 12, 2022, from a library book ![]()
