"It is the 1950s. The Soviets and the Secret Police, the Avos, have a choking grip on Hungary and the lives of its citizens. Attila Szabo is one of them, just a teenager, but he's been forced to grow up quickly, with his father having been in prison for the last two years. They live in a state-owned tenement: Attila, his parents and his older brother. In the top floor flat, a new couple has just moved in, reassigned there by the government. They're clearly from a different class, so why have they been sent here and, more importantly, can they be trusted? But it's the wife who is of interest to Attila: she's the most beautiful woman he's ever seen, and his coming fight for his country's freedom is also to become one of passion"--Publisher's description.
