The Book Of Fathers by Miklos Vamos
* An epic tour de force about ten generations of one family in war-torn Hungary
** 'A superb family saga that draws the reader effortlessly through nearly three centuries of turbulent history.. The characters are fascinating and Vamos's writing is a magnificent, seamless blend of the general and the personal * THE TIMES *
** 'A warm, humorous, courageous story ... a wonderful reading experience. Highly recommended, especially for lovers of Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude * HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW *
** 'Intricately structured and enigmatically imaginative . . . The book is shot through with ideas about music, nationality, astrology, Judaism, and a troublesome relationship with time. Massive in scale but intimate in tone, the novel oscillates between a kind of ornate folk-tale roughness and a lighter yet more sombre beauty * DAILY TELEGRAPH *
