Liar’s Paradise provides a panoramic view of survival during the Holocaust and under the inhumanity of the communist regime in Hungary, beneath Stalin’s rule. The narrative is spiced with nearly fatal escape attempts from communist Hungary, as well as a vivid account of daily life against the backdrop of the dramatic and challenging years of the 20th century. Most books dealing with communism offer a 'gulag' experience. The distinctive element of Liars’ Paradise is that its main characters, a mother and her two daughters, are able to outsmart the oppressive regime and manage to thrive. Based on true-life stories, Liars’ Paradise explores the most challenging period of the 20th century in Europe. Hungary, in the center of the continent, has all armies marching through it and oppressive political systems dominating it. Yet, through ingenuity and daring, a woman and her two daughters manage not only to survive but thrive.
