children to never tell their terrible secrets about growing up in post-
WW2 communist Hungary. Pauls grief for Gabi becomes a grief for his
childhood, his family tree and the struggles of his community.
Pauls memories emerge with a striking richness of detail and emotion. They
are the memories of a child conceived in the aftermath of a racial war, growing
up in the midst of a class war tearing apart Hungarian society, ultimately
needing to fl ee with his family to Australia, a foreign land at the other side
of the world.
It is a personal oral history, a family history and a community history submerged
in trauma. But it is much more than a saga about loss and grief.
Its about moving from survival to something new, sweet and substantial,
through the prism of Pauls childhood innocence.
Paul Galys coming-of age journey is as intoxicating as it is shocking. It is a
personable, gripping and astonishing true-life story. Paul captivates the reader,
recruiting them to aspire, transcend and soar along with him to new and
unanticipated emotional heights!visualizza meno
