First published in 1953, A Place To Stand is set in Budapest in the
spring of 1941, Hope - a spoilt but attractive society girl and
daughter of a leading American business man - finds herself playing
the lead in a dangerous and most unexpected affair of underground
intrigue, through the machinations of her journalist fiance. During
the course of her activities she falls in love with a Polish
refugee, and at the moment when Germany invades Hungary, she is
already deeply involved - both emotionally and politically. Bridge,
herself an eye witness of these events, tells in moving and graphic
terms the terrible story of Germany's 'protective' invasion;
although it is presented in the form of an imaginative episode, the
historical significance and accuracy are all too tragically
evident. This admirable novel is at once a charming love story in
the shadow of fear and disruption, a subtle and intimate portrayal
of human beings in a time of crisis, and a most exciting narrative,
set against the enchanting background of Budapest.
