Iza`s Ballad

When Ettie`s husband dies, her daughter Iza insists that her mother give up the family house in the countryside and move to Budapest. Uprooted from her community and her home, baffled and isolated by modern city ways, Ettie must find a place in her daughter`s life – and build a new one for herself. “A heartbreakingly beautiful novel.” (Irish Times). “A ruthless exploration of the damage we inflict on one another in the name of love.” (Independent).
