A conventional Italian honeymoon becomes a psychic journey in this haunting novel.
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 social conflicts and political convulsions of the period of World War II are depicted beautifully and realistically. The tragedy of the victims of the holocaust brings their human misery right into the reader’s living room.
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
translates from the Hungarian: A Két Koldusdiák and A Beszélő Köntös
The book is a philosophical thriller/comedy/murder-mystery/ghost story set first in London and then in Wales. A mystical element is diffused through an increasingly complex plot, as all threads converge in the final chapters.
