If you've enjoyed this and would like to read about the fall of the Romanian Communist regime, try [[The Last Hundred Days by Patrick McGuinness]] or, for something describing the effects of conflict as lyrically and effectively as ''Painter of Silence'', try [[The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway]].
