Ionel Teodoreanu captivates your mind and your heart and places you alongside his memorable characters: Olga, Monica, and Dan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuch of the book concerns the brother-sister rivalry and the role of Monica, and Olguța’s annoyance at the unfair treatment of girls—not least because she is something of a tomboy. The siblings are continually fighting, and Monica feels she has to take Olguța’s part in female solidarity, but she also has a strong attachment to Dănuț. Dănuț, as the solitary male, often lives in his own world, imagining life as a sultan or Robinson Crusoe—or even a vampire—though happy to come out and fight his sister.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA novel full of warmth, wit, love, and the pursuit of dreams, the story takes place during the years between the two world wars. It is a delightful account of brother-sister rivalry and the life of a generally happy, easy-going family in rural Moldavia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIonel Teodoreanu wrote more than twenty books during his prolific literary career, including the classic \u003ci\u003eLorelei\u003c\/i\u003e, but \u003ci\u003eAt Medeleni\u003c\/i\u003e remains his most beloved work.
