«Abigaël» is the novel by Hungarian writer Magda Szabó, published by LGF (Le Livre de Poche) in paperback (512 pages, in French).
Gina Vitay is sent by her father to a strict Calvinist boarding school in rural Hungary. Spoiled and rebellious, she fails in her escape and confides her troubles to Abigaël, the statue that, according to tradition, protects those who invoke it. The guardian angel seems to respond; her adventures reveal paternal sacrifice and the value of friendship and solidarity.
Translation from Hungarian to French by Chantal Philippe; the original novel «Abigél» was published in 1970.
Will appeal to readers of historical and coming-of-age fiction, and to those seeking classics of Hungarian literature set during the Second World War.
