The Girl in the Stone Coffin

The Girl in the Stone Coffin

Jeremy Cox
4/5 ( ratings)

'The plot is compelling and the tone and execution make for a highly readable novel.' Scott Pack, former head buyer for Waterstones bookshops

Daniel, a young artist in the throes of a passionate affair with a Jewish Hungarian girl while riding the roller-coaster of manic depression, is disturbed by a recurring dream about a child in a medieval coffin. When the girl tells him how she became separated from her mother during the Holocaust, he is drawn back in time to a terrible winter in the Budapest ghetto in 1944 and a bizarre secret locked inside an abandoned home.

Set in the 1960s counter-culture, this is the story of sexual obsession that harks back to the plight of the Hungarian Jews in the final months of the Second World War and the medieval belief in Jewish witchcraft and sorcery that existed centuries earlier. A story of obsessive love for a girl lost in wartime Budapest and a secret buried in a medieval coffin.

Reviews from the Authonomy writing community website

“This is a marvellous deep and beautifully written book. I found it really moving. To me, the theme is the mindless cruelty of those who decide to oppress others, century after century. The hatred must be born in these oppressors, although I don't go as far as Melanie Klein - not everyone. But the truth of people getting together and turning into wolves is clearly illustrated by the Jewish History that is woven deeply into the story. Again and again exiled and murdered. I learned a lot about Hungary, I did not know that Wallenberg saved those left in the ghetto. And then he himself was lost. The last image is truly haunting, ghosts from recent times to ages past. a most sensitive and affecting book.”

“The bipolar protagonist running into strange and awkward situations, among them seeing ghosts, gives the book its uniqueness. The Stone Coffin is meticulously crafted and the first person point-of-view makes the read even more intimate and introspective.”

“Hannah's story is a novel in itself, and the way it is written, without being overdramatic, just giving the terrible details, really works. I was completely taken back to Hungary, and the unbearable suffering. It was so involving and felt absolutely true.”
