Synopsis

Only one yellow rose bush exists in the whole of the Hungarian Plain known as the Hortobágy, and its flowers are only given by the maiden who runs the Hortobágy Inn. But when she has a lover’s spat with her betrothed, and remembers a recipe for love she learned from a gypsy woman, how could she know that she would poison her beloved? ¶ Maurus Jokai (Jokai Mór), one of Hungary’s greatest writers, spins a romantic yarn of Hungary’s horse culture. Narrator BJ Harrison gives the book all the narrative elements of an American Western. The result is a rich, immersive audiobook experience in a world of cattle, culture, and romance.
