Hungary, 1970. The wonderful Hungarian writer, Magda Szabó, author of some of greatest novels of post WWII-Hungary, such as Abigail, Katalin Street, Iza's Ballad, and perhaps her most well-known work, The Door. The New Yorker described the latter work as "a bone-shaking book". These are all available in excellent English translations, especially any by Len Rix.
