By February, the siege was over, but its effects were to be felt for decades afterward. Siege 13 is a collection of thirteen linked stories about this terrible tim e in history, both its historical moment, but also later, as a legacy of si lence, haunting, and trauma that shadows the survivors. Set in both Budapes t before and after the siege, and in the present day - in Canada, the U.S., and parts of Europe - Siege 13 traces the ripple effect of this time on ch aracters directly involved, and on their friends, associates, sons, daughte rs, grandchildren, and adoptive countries. Written by one of this country's best and most internationally recognized short story authors - the story The Restoration of the Villa Where Tibor Kallman Once Lived won the 2011 O. Henry Prize for short fiction - Siege 13 is an intelligent, emotional, and absorbing cycle of stories about war, family, loyalty, love and redemption.
