1944, Budapest, the lives of three neighbouring families are shattered by the German occupation. What happens to little Henrietta will haunt and determine the lives of her childhood friends, a boy and two sisters as they struggle to survive the social and political upheavals of 20th century Hungary. It's a book I needed to read more than once; I confess I skimmed it the first time round then started again and this time savoured every chapter. (Jenny Baker - bwl 93 Summer 2019) |
