Summary: Not bad
Review: In Spring Flowers, Spring Frost, the most famous Albanian writer Kadare had to borrow an ancient Albanian folk tale in which a girl marries a snake so he could metaphorically tell us what happens in Albania these days.
A large number of Albanian girls are getting married to unknown Albanian men who live in Italy because there "it's much better" then in Albania but the thing is they don't have any idea that a great deal of them are getting married to forced prostitution once they reach the destination.
Kadare also focused on other issues in present Albania.Again...very interesting views from the Albanian Kafka.

Summary: Kafkaesqe novel gives window to Albanian mind
Review: Kadare sets out two stories, that slowly blur together. Not a traditional historical novel, this story helps explain the dichotomy between new ideas and old traditions in present day Albania.
