Four men meet weekly for lunch to share stories. This book is the third in the Lunch series. It is Milos who insists in his turn to tell his story. It is set in Hungary during World War Two. In 1941, Josef recognises the risks of being Jewish and arranges for his sons Tibor and Milos to become Catholic. He also prepares them to survive a life on the run should they all need to flee. Intertwined in their lives is another Jewish family whose daughter, Gabriella, is the subject of the two boys' affections.
Tibor and Milos avoid the round up of Jews in their village but watch helplessly from a distance as their father, Gabriella and her family are herded onto the trains destined for the concentration camps. The story that unfolds is one of peril, courage, love, loyalty, survival, and hope
