Drawing on the old Hungarian széphistoria or romance tradition, Ágnes Hankiss both assimilates its 16th century roots and subverts them with this engaging double narrative of His-story - show trials, rebellions and religious unrest that helped to form the Hungarian national identity - and Her-story - searing private conflicts within a family and a marriage that must burst into the public sphere. The domestic struggle of a woman for identity and independence mirrors and finally overwhelms the national story in this great novel artfully combining lyricism with passion, wonderfully translated into English.
