- In this episode of Your History Your Story, our guest is Lisa Voelker, author of the recently released, award winning novel, “The Spoon: The Story of Two Families’ Survival of the Hungarian Revolution”.
“The Spoon” is based on stories told to Lisa by people whose lives were hugely impacted by the events surrounding the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, which lasted only twelve days before it was crushed by Soviet tanks and troops, resulting in thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of people being exiled from their homeland.
Lisa’s love of history was nurtured early in her life by her mother and she has always enjoyed researching and telling stories, particularly ones that relate to people who have overcome great odds or have endured significant difficulties. “The Spoon” is one of those stories.
