Abstract:
American-born Kathleen Mátrai Keller, caught between two cultures, two continents, and two loves, faces the increasingly common dilemma of our modern world: “Where is one’s real home?” The novel brilliantly captures the challenge of growing up in two different worlds: Hungarian and American. The inability to feel totally at home in either environment, the loneliness of being without relatives in America, and the deeply-felt isolation of leading a marginal existence within the boundaries of two cultures are the main themes of the novel.

A perfect book to appear on the 50th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution!
