Synopsis
Budapest, 1944. One woman. One house. One final act of courage.
As German troops enter Hungary and tighten their grip on the city, Catholic sister Sára Salkaházi continues to run a women's home on Bokréta Street. Soon she opens the doors to Jewish women and children, and her refuge quickly becomes a place of danger, secrets, and resistance.
Six-year-old Lili Láng must learn to answer to a false Christian name. Her mother must trust a woman she barely knows. And Sára must keep a ledger of lies to protect the truth of who they really are.
Inside the house, resentment is growing in the one place Sára fails to watch closely enough. And as Budapest descends into hunger, betrayal, and terror, the refuge becomes a secret world of impossible choices.
As their enemies close in and betrayal comes from inside the house, Sára faces the choice that will define her life: save herself or return to stand with the women she can no longer save . . .
Inspired by true events, The Angel of Budapest is a powerful and deeply human WWII novel about impossible choices and the courage to stay when escape is still possible. Perfect for readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka's Journey, and The Angel of Warsaw.
