She is even more devastated when her father tells her that she is to be sent to a boarding school in a provincial Hungarian town. However, as Hungary and France are now at war, the General sends her back to France. Her mother died when she was two and Gina has had a French governess. At the start of the novel, she is living with her father, General Vitay, in Budapest, in 1943. Our heroine is Georgina Vitay, known as Gina. This novel was the most successful of Magda Szabó’s novels published in Hungary, so it is nice to see it finally appearing in English after fifty years.
