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
