Description
HUNGARY, 1900s.
For Amalie and Eva Ferenc, life is a whirl of picnics, trips to the theatre and evening dances. Everything is mapped out for the sisters - all they need do is find themselves the perfect love-match. But Europe stands on the brink of war, one which will upend all they know and wrench apart everyone they hold dear.
Csardas is a deftly plotted, deeply affecting saga, tracking the changing fortunes of one family across two world wars, four countries and three decades.

'I defy anyone to remain unaffected' Evening Standard
'Immensely readable... Has all the fire and dash of the national dance from which it takes its title' Sunday Telegraph'
A story you won't easily forget, done on the scale of Gone with the Wind' Sunday Mirror
