It was well written but quite dense for YA fiction. ( ) Gr 9 Up—In colorless 1956 Budapest, Csilla, a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust, is grappling with her father's role in setting up the brutal Communist secret police. When a university student begs for help finding his boyfriend and an angel of death saves Csilla, she must decide her role in the emerging Hungarian Revolution in Locke's fantastic, fabulist novel. I found This Rebel Heart to be fascinating & a great read! It was interesting because it's based on true historical events with some fantasy. So I liked that I was able to read a book that not only entertained me but also taught me some things that I didn't know about! The writing is wonderful! It's full of wonderful & complex characters.There were moments that were heartbreaking & others that were joyful. So this is an emotional read! But it is a wonderful story & worth every minute you spend reading it! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:A tumultuous tale of the student-led 1956 Hungarian revolution??and an all too timely look at the impact of Communism and the USSR in Eastern Europe??set in a fabulist, colorless post-WWII Budapest from Sydney Taylor Honor winner Katherine Locke. ??A haunting, beautiful read that centers queer Jewish characters.? ??BuzzFeed In the middle of Budapest, there is a river. Csilla knows the river is magic. During WWII, the river kept her family safe when they needed it most??safe from the Holocaust. But that was before the Communists seized power. Before her parents were murdered by the Soviet police. Before Csilla knew things about her father's legacy that she wishes she could forget. Now Csilla keeps her head down, planning her escape from this country that has never loved her the way she loves it. But her carefully laid plans fall to pieces when her parents are unexpectedly, publicly exonerated. As the protests in other countries spur talk of a larger revolution in Hungary, Csilla must decide if she believes in the promise and magic of her deeply flawed country enough to risk her life to help save it, or if she should let it burn to the ground. With queer representation, fabulist elements, and a pivotal but little-known historical moment, This Rebel Heart is Katherine Lock No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
