** spoiler alert ** At the start of this novel, we meet István at 15, where he is seduced by a 40-something year old neighbour. An accident happens where the woman's husband dies, and István is blamed and sent away. Throughout this period of the book, Isval's character is very superficially described, but this develops as the book, and his life, matures. I loved how the author did this, creating a surface-only story at the start, where horrific things are happening to István, to a deep exploration of his character later, even when describing more mundane events of his life such as job interviews and affairs...
I really loved this book and have found myself thinking about István and the decisions he made in his life, especially towards the end of the book where he did what was morally right, but resulted in his financial downfall.
