Welcome to this episode of the Hungarian heritage podcast where I am welcoming back my former guest and friend, Elizabeth Lukacs Chesla, author of You Cannot Forbid the Flower. She is back to help me announce that the podcast will be starting online book clubs in season 4 coming this fall. What originally started out as being a quick Kicsi pod episode to make this exciting announcement, turned into a full length episode that combines our collaborative announcement along with a larger clip from the episode where I interviewed Liz about her book in Season 2. Our inspiration for this new collaborative book club adventure is to provide a space for people to read books about our Hungarian Heritage by writers of Hungarian heritage. We are hoping to provide a way for us to connect more deeply with our own Hungarian family heritage by connecting more deeply with each other. 

This episode will also feature a portion of Elizabeth's original episode from season 2, which will enable you to draw additional Hungarian heritage connections by listening to Liz discuss her Hungarian heritage, her inspiration for writing the book, and so much more. 

 We hope that we have inspired you to join us this fall for our inaugural online book club. Information on how to purchase your copy of You Cannot Forbid The Flower can be found below. We will also send you reminders on social media about the first online book club date of September 25, 2025. We really hope you can join us for an evening of book discussion and Hungarian Heritage connection.
