Katalin Street

WINNER OF THE 2018 PEN TRANSLATION PRIZE

Katalin Street is a heartwrenching tale about a group of friends and lovers torn apart by the German occupation of Budapest during the Second World War. As in The Door and Iza’s Ballad, Magda Szabó conducts a clear-eyed investigation into the ways in which we inflict suffering on those we love. Katalin Street, which won the 2007 Prix Cévennes for Best European novel, is a poignant, sombre and at times harrowing book, but beautifully conceived and truly unforgettable.
