In sixty-eight years, Valeria has never minced her words. Harrumphing through her isolated little village deep in the Hungarian steppes, she clutches her shopping basket like a battering ram & leaves nothing uncriticised
- flaccid vegetables at the market; idle farmers carousing in Ibolya`s Nonstop Tavern; that gauche chimpanzee of a mayor & his flashy, leggy wife; people who whistle. But one day, her spinster`s heart is struck by an unlikely arrow: the village potter, with his decisive hands & solid gaze. Valeria finds herself suddenly dressing in florals & touching her hair, & what`s more, smiling at people in the street. The potter makes her the most beautiful vase she has ever seen. The farmers buy a celebratory round. The problem with all this is that Ibolya (herself at least fifty-eight) has been romancing the potter for months & vows to win him back. & then there`s Ferenc, the sugar beet farmer, red-headed & married but all the same hopelessly in love with Ibolya. Meanwhile the mayor has his own problems, mostly involving foreign investors & a non-existent railway. & then a roving chimney sweep arrives in the village, to make a quick buck & bring some good luck
- or perhaps bad luck; no one can really decide. All anyone knows is, there`s never been such a hullabaloo, which just goes to show it`s never too late to try something new.
