More Was Lost
More Was Lost is Eleanor Perényi's memoir and a clear-eyed elegy to a world gone by--the brief life Perényi, an American abroad, shared with her husband, a Hungarian baron, on his family's 750-acre estate before World War II tore apart the couple and Europe as they had known it. Perényi tells her story with witty and frank ease, bringing to life the Hungarian estate and its inhabitants, and inviting the reader into her memories of a lost place and time.
