Preferably something non-romance (romantic subplots are fine, but I would prefer romance to not be the focal point) that explores very dark themes (trauma, abuse, mental illness, crime), and also offers historically accurate insight into how life was like in communist Eastern Europe.
A book that feels utterly hopeless, bleak, dreamy, absurdist, uncanny, and nostalgic simultaneously.

It’s non-fiction, but I just finished the Marina Abramovic autobiography Walk Through Walls and it was fantastic. She was born in 1940’s Yugoslavia.
