Life in Communist Hungary isn't easy for thirteen-year-old Nelly. Food is scarce and so are clothes. But she has great friends and a special boy she likes, so the hardships are bearable. When the Hungarian Revolution erupts in 1956, Nelly's world crumbles. Along with the Revolution comes a new tide of anti-Semitism. Nelly's family is Jewish, and her parents are convinced that the family must flee. Everything she cares about - her cozy room, her favourite books, and her closest friends - will have to stay behind. There's not time even to say good-bye. Nelly's adventures during the family's harrowing escape to freedom are by turns funny and sad. Will she ever find a place to call home?

This is one of the best books I've ever read,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Place Not Home (Paperback)
This story touches your heart when you read it. In parts of the book you just think. Why did this happen to these people. This is a very good story because you're learning about history and there's a story behind it. I recomend it strongly.
