“MIMI is a magnificent work, as is its heroine of the same name. She is a true aristocrat, yet at the same time a real human being. The social conflicts and political convulsions of the period of World War II are depicted beautifully and realistically. The tragedy of the victims of the holocaust brings their human misery right into the reader’s living room. Mimi, who is undoubtedly modeled on a number of actual living persons, managed to remain human in a world of inhumanity. She represents the best of Hungarian womanhood of those tragic years.” - Rev. Aladár Komjáthy, author of The Exiled Church: Hungarian Calvinism in America.
“MIMI is a significant contribution to popular fiction. It is a thrilling and intriguing book, which in addition to the regular readers of women’s novels, captures a wider audience interested in the social relationships and historical connections of the World War II era.” - Péter P. Müller, literary historian and critic, University of Pécs, Hungary.
“The authenticity of the book is outstanding, showing the author’s diligent research, which give the reader the sense of being there. I myself lived through what Esther and her family experienced. Ágnes Huszár Várdy has written a beautiful book, giving her readers pleasure and a lot to think about." -  Agnes V. Putman, eyewitness and survivor.
