This Rebel Heart
Katherine Locke
In 1956 Budapest, Csilla and her aunt are Holocaust survivors confronting a choice between fighting for freedom and fleeing Hungary. Csilla joins a student revolutionary during the Hungarian uprising and also faces the Angel of Death. Set in a fantastical, colorless postwar Budapest, the novel draws on Jewish folklore while depicting revolution, the effects of Communism and the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe, and the legacy of survival.
