'James Koranyi's book is an empathetic, sophisticated and critical history of the Romanian German experience through the turbulent twentieth century. The many layers of the past are fused with contemporary historical and lived experience to reveal a tapestry of identities and understandings. It is a fascinating and stimulating read.' Jonathan Kwan, University of Nottingham
