The Books Oracle
by Ruta Sepetys
A teenager in 1980s Communist Romania navigates the surveillance state's oppressive grip, where neighbors spy on neighbors and trust is a deadly luxury. Sepetys crafts a tense, immersive portrait of life under dictatorship, revealing how ordinary people resist—or survive—in a regime where even silence can be dangerous.
