It’s 1944, and Hungary is a dark place.  The invasion of the Nazi have invaded and turned the country upside down, their evil making its way into every life.






Eva Bognar is a clarinetist, she’s engaged engaged to conductor and composer Patrik Kedves,  and she’s happily planning her wedding .  She doesn’t think the war is going to directly affect her at first, because she believe everyone around her can be trusted.  But after her Jewish best friend, and sister in law Zofia goes missing, a friend blames Patrik that lead Zofia away, and not the Gestapo.  






Did Patrik betray everything that Eva, and the family stood for?






After the rest of the families lives are directly threatened, Patrik’s secrets must come to light.  The Bognar’s then have to flee to Palestine. 






Eva finds herself having to put her life, and the lives of the family she loves, in the hands of Partik, the man who betrayed her.







I give The Refrain Within five out of five stars!




Happy Reading!
