LoveReading Says

A family epic spanning from the Nazi invasion of Hungary, the Hungarian revolution of 1956 and a reunion in 1964 Canada. A detailed story that is both heartwarming and harrowing in turn follows the twenty year relationship of István and Teréza. Will the couple survive secrets, war and a seven year separation as István escapes to Canada? This historical fiction spans a turbulent time in Hungarian history and the plight of the Hungarian people during the war and Soviet occupation. Both István and Teréza are well drawn characters and as I was drawn into the story I was keen to keep reading and see whether they would be successfully reunited. With questions of morality and themes of survival in one of the darkest times in modern history, ‘When I Was Better’ is also a story of love, human connection and coming-of-age. I think that this is an incredibly moving story that will appeal to all historical fiction fans and is a worthwhile read.
