30 years after the fall of communism in Hungary, as Andras Forgach investigated his family's past he uncovered a horrifying truth. His mother, whom he deeply loved, had been an informant for the Kadar regime. She had informed not only on acquaintances but on family, friends and even her children. In this book, Forgach gives voice to his deceased mother, holding her responsible for her deeds while defending the memories he cherished of her as a son.
