December of 1944, the Red Army entered Budapest to begin one of the bloodiest sieges of the Second World War. By February, the siege was over, but its effects were to be felt for decades afterward. Siege 13 is a collection of thirteen linked stories about this terrible time in history, both its historical moment, but also later, as a legacy of silence, haunting, and trauma that shadows the survivors.
Based on true events, this sprawling love story of hope, courage, and redemption will stay with readers long after finishing the book.
Each day is a struggle to survive…
About the Author: I grew up in a small, peaceful Canadian town, listening to the stories of my immigrant parents’ childhood experiences. Their courage and determination provided me with opportunities that many of their generation were denied. In discussing the large events that shaped the great wars, the impact on the little people is often overlooked. The course of millions of lives was changed, and millions of people suffered hunger, poverty, and torture. I feel that it was important to tell a few of their stories before they are forgotten.
