Description
Katalin Street is a heart-wrenching tale about the lives of four families living side by side in prewar Budapest. As the German occupation tears their world apart, the author conducts a clear-eyed investigation into the ways in which we inflict suffering on those we love.
The story follows the Elekes family as they struggle to come to terms with social and political change, personal loss, and guilt over past events. A young girl's presence haunts the narrative, reappearing at key moments as a mute witness to the power of past events.
