The appointment

Muller, Herta2010
Books, Manuscripts
'I've been summoned. Thursday morning, ten sharp'. Thus begins the day in the life of a young factory work in Romania. Her crime? Sewing notes into the linings of men's suits bound for Italy. 'Marry me' the notes say, with her name and address. As she rides the tram to her interrogation, she considers her life.
