The Grandfather Puzzle
Ora DeKornfeld
When Ora travels to her grandfather's childhood home in Hungary, she finds a castle on a 6,000-acre estate and a town full of strangers who greet her like she never left. "Has the baroness returned?" they ask — warm, welcoming, and faintly unsettling. Because the same town that remembers her family so fondly has its own complicated relationship with why they had to leave. But the bigger surprise isn't what Ora finds out about them. It's what she finds out about herself — and the version of a life she never knew she'd been missing.
