Summary/Abstract: "Case, trenuri și andrele" (Homes, Trains and Knitting-Needles) invites its readers into the author’s fascinating world of past and present memories and confessions. The book offers instances of reliable social history and daily life during Romaniaʼs communist epoch. Ariana Rosser Macarie writes with sincerity, in an enthralling manner, about her family, her university years, her marriages and divorces, her jobs at the Romanian National Television and Radio, her houses, her passion for reading, knitting and writing, her living in England, her travellings, her joys or deceptions, her innermost feelings. Knitting has been initially her way of survival, both materially and spiritually, turned into an art form, allowing her to get at her roots whenever she wants to. In the maze of her life journey, Ariana has always searched for her true home inside seventeen houses. She has eventually found it in the act of writing.
