The Gresham Symphony
Melanie Zuben
Erika Kuti is an innocent, gentle and breathtakingly beautiful young country girl, who decides to try her luck in Budapest, during the 1980's Communist Hungary. She falls in love with Robert Nadory, the handsome, aging concert pianist, who finds it difficult to function in society. He falls for a girl he always wanted, who will inspire him to get back to creativity. They embark on a passionate, tormented love affair, lasting for more then a decade.
The author also gives an insight to what life was like in Hungary not long before the collapse of Communism, with remarkable mockery and ridicule.
***Warning!*** In this story, nobody gets tortured or raped (maybe one near miss), or physically abused and there is no fascination with sadism and evil. This is a story about two beautiful souls living in a twisted world.
