After our zoom call and hearing everyone's comments and this overview, I now appreciate the complexities and twists of this book that I initially overlooked, so well done in recommending something totally absorbing and extremely well written. Thank you Emily!
I loved listening to this .I love the book and the feeling of strangeness and being unsettled by the story which as you say is told in simple but beautiful sentences full of twists and turns Thank you Emily
Hello! Not that it matters too much, but I thought you'd want to know. The LY at the and of the name Mihály is read as the Y in the English word YEAR. ZS in the name Erzsi is pronounced as the S in the English word PLEASURE. Hope it helps.:) And a big thank you for promoting this unique piece of literature!
@@muzsika5616 yes thank you so much for the correction. I am endlessly mispronouncing things especially names - and I hope it doesn’t come across as cultural insensitivity! One of the walking book club members is Hungarian and she also put me right, so I feel I’ve learned a tiny bit about how this amazing language works. Thank you and so glad you love the book!
