Anne found the book “The Geography of Bliss” at the library and brought it home for me to read. It’s interesting, funny and even has a section on Moldova. I read the Moldova chapter first and realized I’d had quite a different experience than he did.
He found Moldovans to be overwhelmingly depressed whereas I found them to be fairly positive, but very, very poor. The author pointed out the high rate of alcoholism, which was a very visible problem when I was there too.
