In this novel, Melinda Nadj Abonji interweaves two narrative strands, recounting the history of three generations of the Kocsis family & chronicling their hard-won assimilation. Originally part of Serbia`s Hungarian-speaking minority in the Vojvodina, the Kocsis family immigrates to Switzerland in the early 1970s when their hometown is still part of the Yugoslav republic. Parents Miklos & Rosza land in Switzerland knowing just one word-”work.” & after three years of backbreaking, menial work, both legal & illegal, they are finally able to obtain visas for their two young daughters, Ildiko & Nomi, who safely join them.

It all goes back to childhood memories. Grown men buying sailboats, old-timer cars, & old biplanes. Guided & inspired by adventure books they read when they were boys. My preferred literature was definitely exploration, with pirates a close second. Well-read was a book about an uncle with many cousins. He owned several DC-3s & traveled through Africa taking his kin for rides. Rich adventure. & of course I saw myself as the pilot. My first actual flight was as a passenger in a DC-3, fourth class. I believe it was the late 1950s. My Dad dropped me off at the Dakota's foldout stairs, made sure it took off, & then boarded a Constellation to New York. I overlooked the wing of the DC-3 during flight & remember praying the rivets would hold till London. If we do not have this item in stock we will order it for you from our supplier.
