Communist regimes are crumbling across Europe. Seventeen-year-old Cristian Florescu dreams of becoming a poet and philosopher. But Romanians aren’t free to dream; they are bound by rules and force.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmidst the grip of the maniacal dictatorship of Nicolae Ceausescu and a country governed by lies, deceit, isolation, and fear, Cristian is blackmailed by the secret police to become an informer. He’s left with only two choices: betray everyone and everything he loves—or use his position to creatively undermine the most notoriously evil regime in Eastern Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCristian risks everything to expose the truth behind the regime, to give his people a voice, and to tell the world what is happening in Romania. And he is eager to join in the revolution and fight for change when the time arrives. But the cost of a better future comes at the expense of broken hearts and lives lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMasterful storyteller Ruta Sepetys is back with a historical thriller that examines the little-known history of a nation defined by its secrecy and lies, and the unwavering conviction of the human spirit, even—and especially—in the face of hardship, sacrifice, and war.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookmark Books \u0026 Gifts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39963322908809,"sku":"9780593524152","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0376\/3057\/4729\/products\/9780593524152_0588a.jpg?v=1757069964","url":"https:\/\/thebookmarkpr.com\/products\/i-must-betray-you","provider":"The Bookmark Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
