Red Danube: A Hungarian memoir

By Vera Hartley

Red Danube intertwines politics and history with fly-on-the-wall glimpses of life spiced by a challenging relationship between the author and her mother, Erzsi. It tells of everyday events that might happen anywhere in the world. The stroke of a pen in the signing of a treaty, or a small change in the law, for some citizens meant the loss of way of life, or status, or security. These stories are about betrayal and unexpected grace, loss of trust and kindness from odd corners, loss of identity and finding a new one. The characters are fallible, everyday human beings brought to life through tales peppered with a wry humour.
