Contents/Summary

Summary
Three men and a woman recall their lives between 1956-1989 in Hungary. The narrating protagonists revisit their memories both mentally and physically. One of them survived his own execution, the other became a widower, the third turned from Secret Service officer into a teacher in a remote country village, and the fourth was an intellectual persecuted after 1956. Interestingly, they all remember their youth somewhat differently than they would wish to. There are no conclusions - were there any they would be false. Subtle chronicles of communist Hungary.
