Book set in Romania

[Talisman]

Some time ago, a year ago, maybe more, I remember seeing a book in Waterstones about a girl in Romania (possibly Bucharest). The book is set during the times of Caucescu, and the girl has seen some terrible things, until one day she walks around the corner and sees something that is even worse and changes her life forever. I have searched all over the Internet for such a book, but to no avail, and having no recollection at all of the authors name or the book title, thought I might as well try on here? Does anyone have any idea what this book might be. It wasn't a very big one from what I recall.

Could it be The Appointment by Herta Muller? Or maybe The Land Of Green Plums, also by Herta Muller?

I did look at some of hers, including The Land of Green Plums, and it definately isn't that one, but I didn't look at The Appointment, so will check that one out.
