Book 13, Country 13 - Hungary

Esther's Inheritance by Sandor Marai - translated from Hungarian - first published in English in 2008

Esther is single and lives with her elderly relative Nunu.  20 years earlier her boyfriend jilted her in favour of her sister Vilma.  Vilma is now dead and her husband Lajos comes to Esther's house with his 2 unlovely children asking for money.   A short book and although it was ok, I'm glad it wasn't any longer.  5/10
