The Fountains of Silence meets Spinning Silver in this rollicking tale set amid the 1956 Hungarian revolution in post-WWII Communist Budapest from Sydney Taylor Honor winner Katherine Locke. In the middle of Budapest, there is a river. Csilla knows the river is magic. During WWII, the river kept her family safe when they needed it most--safe from the Holocaust. But that was before the Communists seized power. Before her parents were murdered by the Soviet police. Before Csilla knew things about her father's legacy that she wishes she could forget. Now Csilla keeps her head down, planning her escape from this country that has never loved her the way she loves it. But her carefully laid plans fall to pieces when her parents are unexpectedly, publicly exonerated. As the protests in other countries spur talk of a larger revolution in Hungary, Csilla must decide if she believes in the promise and magic of her deeply flawed country enough to risk her life to help save it, or if she should let it burn to the ground. With queer representation, fabulist elements, and a pivotal but little-known historical moment, This Rebel Heart is Katherine Locke's tour de force.

Potulná věštkyně najde v hřejivém a okouzlujícím fantasy debutu nečekanou rodinu. Tao je přistěhovalecká věštkyně, která putuje mezi vesnicemi jen se svou věrnou mulou. Věští pouze „drobné“ osudy: jestli příští týden přijdou kroupy, kterého chlapce barmanka políbí nebo kdy se otelí kráva. Z vlastní trpké zkušenosti ví, že velké věštby mívají velké následky… I když vede osamělý život, je lepší než ten, který zanechala za sebou. Jenže jedna malá věštba nečekaně přeroste v něco mnohem většího, když ji (polo)napravený zloděj a bývalý žoldák zatáhnou do zoufalého pátrání po ztraceném dítěti. Brzy se k nim přidá i pekařka s chutí na dobrodružství a — samozřejmě — tak trochu kouzelná kočka. Tao se vydává na novou cestu s druhy, kteří mají srdce stejně velká, jako jsou její věštby malé. Ale jak postupně opouští svou ostražitost, stíny její minulosti se začínají stahovat — a ona se musí rozhodnout, zda riskovat všechno, aby si uchovala rodinu, o které nikdy nevěřila, že by ji mohla mít.
