Spider web
“Pânză de păianjen “ Cella Serghi
The charming account of becoming an accomplished young woman in spite of poverty, constant relocation and struggles to maintain appearence.
Inspired by the author's own life, it is real proof that the early years of one's life influences the way it is perceived later on, and the decision making process.
The title of the book refers to the main character's destiny, which she perceives as unescapable, and sees herself as an insect stuck on the spiderweb and can never escape it.
The portrait of the main character, Diana Slavu, is built up through the contrast between how her best friend Ilinca sees her and her own account of how she really feels and the motives behind her actions.
The book is worth a read for the captivating descriptions of Mangalia and Balcic in the 1920s-30s, when they were still just charming little villages, the locations of the two great romances of her youth.
