Reviews

I loved this [book]. I expected it to be a more gruelling read, but actually it was very emotional but also very approachable. One can hear Istvan/Stephen's voice and his grand-daughter has done him proud. An extraordinary story, and one that lingers in the mind... -- Baroness Julia Neuberger A remarkable story of survival... told with such humanity and lyricism -- Kevin Brennan MP Stunning. A beautiful blend of action, poetry, thought-provoking comment and music... just brilliant -- James Ainscough OBE Painfully moving * Kirkus Reviews * A gripping narrative of suffering, loss and survival, with music at its heart -- Fiona Maddocks (Observer’s classical music critic and author of Goodbye Russia Rachmaninoff in Exile) Deeply moving... triumphant -- Greg Dawson Truly remarkable ... beautifully written and completely addictive. Roxanne de Bastion finely balances her grandfather's gripping and traumatic story of survival with the vivid legacy of her family's history. The words dance off the page and it moved me to tears -- Ed Harcourt Resonates for our times -- Caroline Sanderson * The Bookseller, *Editor's Choice* * One of 2024's most anticipated books * BBC Culture *
