There, they try to make the marriage work and create a life for themselves. But Freddie is a scoundrel and Sophie is haunted by her past and wants to return to Hungary. Finally she has enough money to take her 4 daughters back to her hometown, to find the answers to questions that have haunted her.

This is a very complex story filled with many surprises in each chapter. I was told by many, that it is a "real page turner" and a book you can't put down, once you start reading it. it is historical fiction with a touch of the supernatural, based on actual events in my family"s history. I enjoyed writing it and hope you would read it and enjoy it too.
