    Love, History, and a Family's Fortunes
  

*by O***H on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2013*

"I Kiss Your Hands Many Times" is the story told by an ordinary American woman who knew that her family history was extraordinary but who, in researching this book, discovered that it was extraordinary beyond imagination.  Not stranger, but more wonderful than fiction is an apt description.Imagine a family whose fortune was on the scale of the Carnegie, Mellon, or Krupp families.  Or, in today's measures, a fortune perhaps close to that of the Gates family.  Until the 1930s, the family was a pillar of society and strong supporter of their country.  Then, the rise of Nazism and ethnic prejudice changed everything.  The Gestapo gave them a choice: turn over the family's industrial empire or go to Auschwitz.  Even that did not prevent the book's main protagonist from going to Dachau.In the end, a true love survived these trials and flourished in a new land.  But the human costs were profound.Read this book for an excellently written family history that tells the story of how a family at the center of what was Europe's largest country (teh Austro-Hungarian Empire) in 1900 became political refugees and migrants by 1950.  It reveals a great deal about twentieth century history that rarely meets the eye in a gripping tale of love, dedication, survival and disappointment.

    Beautifully Written Epic Tale of War, Love, Loss and Perseverance
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2020*

Having recently met the author, I was excited to learn about her family. I had no idea what I was in for! What an amazing journey! The family's story is really, in many ways, a microcosm of the story of Hungary itself. Buffeted between the Nazis and the Russians, the Hungarians suffered miserably despite trying their best to persevere. And, the same goes for the family. From high level positions in industry and government, they lose most everything during WWII. In the immediate aftermath of the war there is a glimmer of hope before the Russians crush it. Marianne takes us through the entire time period with love and honesty. Her writing is beautiful and evokes the era to perfection. I highly recommend this book!

    Wonderful Chronicle of Events
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2014*

The book ranges over a huge area of historical detail and  the sheer commiment of the author commands great respect. It misses by a not very large margin of being a truly great book. Some of the judgements are superficial, or just simply incorrect, rely on a "copy and paste" approach which is in direct opposition to the almost Proustian sensibilities displayed using the language to best effect in themost moving passages. In other places, sadly in many instances the language is used clumsily and some of the translated passages are just not upto thestandard we would be entitled to. Did anybody at all  read the book before it went to the printers?The title is needlessly obtuse, the cover completely misleading. The protagonists, or not to mince my words, the heroesfor this who they were would deserve that the book should meet consistently the level of literary art, which at times itdoes meet.This is a book which is highly informative even to those familiar with the events and the people involved, but falls shortin many respects.
