MIMI is a magnificent work, as is its heroine of the same name. She is a true aristocrat, yet at the same time a real human being.

The tragedy of the victims of the holocaust brings their human misery right into the reader’s living room.
A seamless combination of the political, literary and personal history of postwar Hungary. This scathing, at times humorous, and always insightful memoir by exiled Hungarian novelist Sandor Marai provides one of the most poignant and humanly alive portraits of life in Hungary between the German occupation in 1944 and the solidification of communist power in 1948.
