About this audiobook
After years of suffering under the communist regime in Cold War Hungary, Eszter Turján — fanatical underground journalist — would sacrifice anything, and anyone, to see the government fall. When she manipulates news broadcasts on Radio Free Europe, she ignites a vicious revolution, commits a calamitous murder, and is dragged away screaming to a secret underground prison.
Her daughter Dora, then a teenager, cowers in her bedroom as the secret police arrest her mother. Haunted and hurt, Dora vows to work against everything Eszter believes in. But, it’s not that simple. After nine years, Dora meets a strapping young fan of Radio Free Europe and is unwittingly drawn back into Eszter’s circle.
She finds her mother, driven mad by years of torture, is headed for death. On the brink of losing Eszter again, Dora must decide if she should risk her life to save the mother who discarded her — or leave it to fate.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I enjoyed this book. Although, I must admit that the story started out slowly. It did take some time to pick up speed but once it did, it was easy reading. Right from the beginning even before I really became familiar with Dora's mother, Eszter; I liked her. She stood for something and was not afraid to die for her beliefs. Being so young, I could understand Dora's resentment towards her mother. However, as the story progressed, Dora became just as strong as her mother; if maybe not stronger. This mixed with a good storyline made reading this book a nice treat. There were sections in the story that featured letters. These were fine but I felt like these parts were not as good. In fact, I personally didn't find them as interesting and would skip these parts of the story. The latter half of the story is where everything just came into place with the pacing of the story and the characters. It was my favorite part of the whole story. Author, Alison Littman does pen a good story with this book.
