An Exclusive Love
A Memoir
Johanna Adorján (Author), Anthea Bell (Translator)
"A powerful and affecting memoir––reminiscent of Sebald." —Phlipp Meyer, author of American Rust
Chain-smoking, peculiarly stylish, stubborn, and eccentric—Vera and István were anything but ordinary grandparents. Sixteen years after their death, Johanna Adorján fills the gaps in their story. An Exclusive Love is a brilliantly constructed memoir and a gorgeous romance, a tale of two people who died as they lived: inseparable.
