Csardas – taken from the name of the Hungarian national dance – follows the fortunes of the enchanting Ferenc sisters from their glittering beginnings in aristocratic Hungary, through the traumas of two World Wars.

From the dazzling elegance of coming-out balls, feudal estates and a culture steeped in romance, to terror and starvation in the concentration camps – no story could be more dramatic than that of Eva and Amalia Ferenc, whose fate it is to be debutantes when the shot which killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo plunges Europe into the First World War. Their story is enthralling, tragic, romantic – and absolutely unputdownable.

Praise for Csardas:

'A story you won't easily forget, done on the scale of Gone with the Wind' Sunday Mirror

'I defy anyone to remain unaffected' Evening Standard

'Immensely readable... Has all the fire and dash of the national dance from which it takes its title' Sunday Telegraph
