About the Book

For James Jeffrey, his mother s homeland of Hungary has always featured in family stories sometimes as a fairytale land, other times as an exotic parallel universe. It is a place where storks build nests as large as tables on chimney tops and grandparents live in suburbs called Uranium Town. People say hello when they mean goodbye , have no word for he or she , and bestow an almost godlike status on cakes and lard. It is the country where James s mother, a volatile divorcee who could outflirt Zsa Zsa Gabor, and his father, a coal miner from a particularly sensible part of England, began an unlikely romance that lasted until the other end of the earth. With his wife, children and still-warring parents in tow, James decided that the time had come to go back to Hungary. Their journey into the little-known paprika paradise is hilarious, thought-provoking and completely unpredictable. Joyous, illuminating and enchanting Herald Sun

About the Author :
Conceived in Hungary, born in England and raised in Australia, James has been a staff writer at The Australian on and off since 1998. He has been a regular traveller for years, and keeps gravitating to Hungary, Russia, the Australian outback, and the glorious cake mile of Acland Street, St Kilda. He has spent time living, loafing, occasionally writing and profitably busking in Hungary and Ireland, as well as spending an exhausting, bewildering, brilliant year working in the improbable post of deputy business editor of The Moscow Times. James holds an honours degree in Russian studies from UNSW. This is his first book. He lives in Sydney with his wife Annabel and their two children.

Review :
A lesson in self-discovery and a journey through generations, James Jeffery's bitter-sweet memoir has the unclassifiable grandeur of a book that was meant to be. It ranges from south Sydney to the great Hungarian plain, from peaks of joy to heartfelt introspection. - Nicolas Rothwell, journalist and novelist
