In the dream she is not herself. Belief is Catherine's gift, or it
was once, growing up in the shadow of an extraordinary friendship
amongst a cacophony of voices trying to tell her who to be. Now, in
her thirties, Catherine knows what she has lost and what she has
survived. Her professional life is on course and she has a new
relationship with Simon, a writer who shares her imaginative and
creative worlds. But when Catherine arrives in Budapest in winter
1993 to begin researching a novel based on the poet, Attila Jozsef,
she starts dreaming the life of a young woman imprisoned after the
1956 Uprising. More disconcertingly, by day this woman, Selene
Virag, is with her, dreaming Catherine's life just as she dreams
Selene's. Obsessed with uncovering the facts, Catherine discovers
that Selene was a real person who lived through the persecution of
Jews in Hungary during WW2, but what is most disorienting is that
Selene believed Attila Jozsef to be the father of her daughter,
Miriam, despite the fact that Jozsef committed suicide in December
1937, eighteen years before Miriam was born. How do the three lives
of Catherine, Selene and Attila fit together? Densely layered,
constantly challenging the boundaries between fact and fiction, A
Remedy for All Things is a disquieting and compelling exploration
of what we mean by identity and of how the personal and the
political collide. Spare, subtle prose and an innovative, original
narrative combine with an accessible, moving story; an
extraordinary follow-up to This is the End of the Story, the first
book in the Casilda Trilogy. The final part For Hope is Always
Born, is also published by Cinnamon Press.
