Akik már nem leszünk sosem

A story that crosses generations and borders. In 1990 a man dies in a car crash outside Iowa City. In 2013 a young man leaves Budapest at dawn after a quarrel and drives on impulse to the small town of his teenage years. In 1986, in a provincial sanatorium, a paralysed patient and his nurse record his confession about a fateful moment of his childhood. On 26 October 1956 a small town's revolutionary demonstration suddenly turns into a pogrom. A wedding night takes a strange turn, and by 2017 the pieces seem to fit together, though not into the picture anyone expected. The novel is about personal and social memory and about how past stories shape the present.
