She will share some of the stories of the Hungarians she interviewed, many of whom are now living in the Puget Sound region. From an overview of the historical situation and the tension this brought to bear on ordinary citizens to interspersed excerpts from her novel, Connally will give the audience a sense for the dilemmas that the people in Hungary (and other Soviet bloc countries) were going through at this time.
