This family saga spans almost two hundred years and follows two families with different pasts: the Orliks, who migrate from Galicia to Hungary, and the Flaschners, who settle there from Moravia. Their intricate histories gradually merge into the exemplary fate of one Hungarian family. The novel reads as a passionate love story that explores the attractions and torments of body and soul across generations, traditions, destiny and free will. It is also a broad historical novel: weaving in documents and period texts, it paints nearly two centuries of Hungarian history from the side, through the lives of ordinary people shaped by the experience of Central European history.
