""I've been summoned. Thursday, ten sharp." Thus begins one day in the life of a young clothing-factory worker during Ceausescu's totalitarian regime. She is riding a tram on her way to answer a summons from the secret police. She has been questioned before; this time, she believes, will be worse. She has brought along a towel and her toothbrush in case she's not allowed to return home. Her crime? Sewing notes into the linings of men's suits bound for Italy. "Marry me," the notes say, with her name and address. Anything to get out of the country.". "As each tram stop brings the young woman closer to the appointment, her thoughts stray to her bus-driver father and his infidelities; to her friend Lilli, shot trying to flee to Hungary; to her grandparents, deported after her first husband informed on them; to Major Albu, her interrogator, who begins each session with a wet kiss on her fingers; and to Paul, her lover, her one source of trust, despite his constant drunkenness. In her distraction, she misses her stop, finding herself on an unfamiliar street. And what she discovers there makes her fear of the interrogation pale by comparison."--BOOK JACKET.
