Friddie, 18, is an ordinary yet rebellious young Jewish woman, living in Bucharest in the 1930s. Born and raised in Romania's capital, she dreams of living as a "free Romanian woman."
After calling off her wedding to a young, parentally-approved accountant, she escapes to a city on the coast, where she meets a scientist-perfumer named Freddy. He is the true love she has been looking for-and a ticket to her dream.
Soon, though, that dream turns into a nightmare she never could have predicted.
In this tragic-heroic novel, the true stories, the victims, and the small moments of happiness are revealed in the Danube's labor camps, under the fascist-dictatorial and communist rule that has been a part of Romania for so many years.
Based on the true experiences of a Jewish Romanian family, Where the Lilacs Bloom Once Again unearths stories that could so easily be lost to the passage of time. This family's tale has emerged at a critical time, to show the need for compassion and kindness, even in the hardest moments. About the author
