Agnes was born in Budapest and spent her first twenty years there; the first ten under German/Nazi occupation, the second under Soviet teror. She escaped in 1956 because she wanted to become an architect. Her dream was fulfilled by this country, where she qualified, worked and raised a family.
"This book is a gallop through a 20th century world very far removed from that of today. In a style that is straight, unselfconscious and direct, Agnes tells of her childhood problems in a stifling world under German, and then Soviet Occupation... The story of a life, as well as a world that is no longer ours today, simply and unpretentiously told, and adding up to a warm and human record of the time." -- Chris Harlow * Oxford Brookes University * "This wonderful book of memoirs opens up vivid worlds of experience and adventure... The author recaptures in intense detail the colours, smells and tastes of other places, along with the intimacies of family relations and friendships... The book joins other personal travelogues in enabling the reader to see how intimate relations and homes are built from chance meetings and shared experiences in odd places, away from home." -- Pnina Werbner
