For the Love of Alison
by Sahlan Diver

New York, 1980. The seventy year old Katalin Karády, once Hungary’s most dazzling actress, accused spy, and wartime icon, wraps hats in silence on Madison Avenue. When an official invitation from her homeland arrives, she sends a hat, not a reply. Based on true events, told through many voices, this emotionally charged novel spans decades of war and survival. It tells the untold story of a woman who defied fascists, communists, and her own myth to survive as a legend.
