The novel „And There Was Night” („Si a fost noapte”) by Aureliu Busuioc was published by the „Cartier” publishing house in 2012. The title is taken from John (13,30), taken as a concluding sentence, as deeply symbolic, after Judah went away to betray Jesus. The narrative is focused on love between a Bessarabian girl, Elena (Lenta) Velceva and oberlautenant Werner Storch, born in Banat, Lenauheim, where he did primary school and six years of Romanian high school. It’s love that is born unexpectedly, powerfully, and lasts and conquers the rough and tumble of war as well as the horrors of a totalitarian regime of the Soviet Union.
