Magda Szabo

Abigail

Buch

This cult coming-of-age novel is translated from the original Hungarian, with Len Rix capturing Szabo's command of imagery and suspense. Gina is transported from carefree Budapest to boarding school, finding solace in the company of a statue on the school grounds. The mysteries behind the real-life Abigail captured in stone present themselves as Gina begins to establish her own place in the world.
