Title: Historical Fiction at Its Best
Product review: This novel spans time and continents, and the author gets all of it right. In a small, impoverished village in Hungary, we meet a little boy, Leo. He is different even then, having unique skills that will serve him well throughout his life. We follow him to a sophisticated adulthood first in Europe, then in Asia, and marvel as he is struck again and again with loss of loves and lives. One wonders that he can continue, but always he does. He is a survivor par excellence. The narrative is never less than fascinating. The dialogue is never less than sure. This is fiction on a grand scale, and it will not disappoint.
