What is The Summer My Father Died about?

Yudit Kiss grew up a communist in Budapest, soaking up her fathers ideology unquestioningly. As a child she is puzzled when others refer to her as Jewish; she only knows that her family doesnt believe in God. How can they? As her father lies dying, Yudit tries to understand the enigma surrounding his life. Where does his unshakeable communist conviction come from? Why doesnt he have relatives? As she digs deeper into his tragic history, Yudit is forced to confront the contradictions and lies woven into the life of her family and her country through the dramatic twists of twentieth century Hungary. The Summer My Father Died is a warm, graceful and poignant memoir. Yudit Kiss was born in Budapest in 1956. After having worked in Hungary, Mexico and the UK, she moved to Switzerland in the early 1990s, where she currently lives. A researcher in economic development, she is the author of a number of articles, research papers and academic works. The Summer My Father Died is her first literary work.
