Valeria's Last Stand
Hungarian folk tale with a Senior Citizen love triangle
This is a light hearted love story with an unexpected romantic couple. Valeria is a 68 year old spinster living in the Hungarian town of Zivatar. Valeria suffered heartbreak as a young woman and has since become the crotchety town hag. She finds love again with the town potter, but he is involved with the pub owner Ibolya. Each member of this strange love triangle fears that this is their last chance at love. Valeria and Ibolya both want the potter and neither will let anyone or anything get in their way.
This is a delightful story written as if it were an Hungarian folk tale. Many characters are unnamed and referred to only by their occupation: the mayor, the potter, etc. Well written and featuring a host of zany characters, I highly recommend this book.
In very good, once read condition.
No reserve at all! GOOD LUCK!
