Reconfirming her talent as a prose writer and her interest in innovation, Paula Erizanu comes with a surprising docu-fiction, a true historical novel, made up of a huge puzzle of testimonies. The charmingly authentic voices of survivors of a world ripe with abuses, deportations, and plunder, caught between wars (including the one in Ukraine) convey a paradoxical and comforting sense of life that triumphs through the trials of history, always starting over. With great discretion, the author shows the cultural and civic leap made by children raised in poverty and violence in a traditional society that she is gradually changing. This is both heaven and hell is an essential book for understanding not only the last hundred years of solitude of the Republic of Moldova, located at the confluence of cultures and ethnicities, but also the identity and openness to the world of Moldovans, steadfast and at the same time, migrants, cosmopolitans, and bound to their territory. - Gabriela Adamesteanu
