2025 book 196

 Magda Szabo’s Abigail

Sometimes you just want to reread a beautiful and classic book about resistance to the Nazis. Actually this  is the story of a girl in 1944 Hungary whose army general father suddenly puts her in a very strict religious boarding school. Even knowing the ending, this is a satisfying read and a very moving coming of age story. Totally makes me cry, but with like hope.
