'One Perfect Day is the profoundly moving story of Veronika Csosz, her experiences during the 1956 Hungarian Uprising and her traumatic escape.'

'Veronika's story is also about young people with an unshakeable desire to be free of the fear, violence and oppression of Communist rule which, on a beautiful autumn day, led to the tragic events of 1956.'

Despite calls for help to the leaders of the free world, Hungary's fight for freedom was overshadowed by the international stand off over the Suez Canal. Help never came, and the desperate fight for democracy was crushed by the Soviet Army just days after freedom seemed to be won. ' (Publisher's blurb)
