Jardin de Vidrio, El - Tatiana Ţîbuleac - Bog

"The elderly Tamara Pavlovna rescues little Lastochka from an orphanage during the grayest years of communism in Moldova. What at first may seem like an act of mercy hides a terrifying reality. Lastochka has been bought to work as a slave collecting, for almost a decade, bottles on the streets of the city. She survives in an environment marked by violence and misery while she rejects the advances of overly stubborn men. The Glass Garden is an exercise in domestic exorcism."--
