Families Lost, Family Regained

This is one of the most moving autobiographies that speaks for our time. Its timeless theme, focusing on the loss of family and the deep desire to regain belonging, might well be made into a movie. The book, drawing on oral histories from Cold War Hungary, defines loss not just from the Holocaust, but also from the horrors of Stalin's "velvet" prison, Hungary. In face of such imponderable loss, the novel speaks timelessly for our time in its successful reclaiming of a family lost to history.
