Nadia Albu

Nadia Albu was eleven the first time she tried to run from her tyrannical grandfather’s farm in the Romanian countryside. She managed it at fourteen — and landed in the sewers of Bucharest as a street child.

Then she met Anton, a young man who promised her a better future, and whom she eventually decided to trust. Whether he was what he claimed to be is the question her book turns on — along with a harder one: whether it is possible to trust anyone at all.
