Yudit Kiss grew up a communist in Budapest, soaking up her father';s ideology unquestioningly. As a child she is puzzled when others refer to her as Jewish; she only knows that her family doesn';t believe in God. How can they? As her father lies dying, Yudit tries to understand the enigma surrounding his life. Where does his unshakeable communist conviction come from? Why doesn';t he have relatives? As she digs deeper into his tragic history, Yudit is forced to confront the contradictions and lies woven into the life of her family - and her country - through the dramatic twists of twentieth century Hungary. Lyrical and poetic The Summer My Father Died is a powerful memoir. 'In this remarkable memoir, Yudit Kiss uncovers the paternal history that shaped her own, even while she was unaware of it . the journey is riveting.'; Lisa Appignanesi 'It shook me profoundly . not only the richness of the relationship between father and daughter, but the internal development of the narrator also had a deep impact on me.'; István Szabó, director of Mephisto and Being Julia.
