Books by Miklos Banffy

They Were Counted (vol.1 of the Transylvanian Trilogy)
Hungary pre WWI and the aristocracy at play. The lives of cousins Balint and Laszlo weave in and out of this epic description of the declining years of the Austro-Hungarian Empire - balls, shooting weekends in stately homes, gambling, family feuds, illicit love, all against a background of political chaos. A crowded canvas, alright, but I found myself completely immersed. Just started on volume two.... ahhh.... more of the same, hooray!
