, whom he deeply loved, had been an informant for the Kadar regime. She had informed not only on acquaintances but on family, friends and even her children. In a work of heartbreaking intensity and nuance, Forgach must confront the truth about the woman who was simultaneously an informant as well as a tender and loveable parent, a victim and a perpetrator. In The
Acts
of
My
Mother
, Forgach gives voice to his deceased
mother
, holding her responsible for her deeds while defending the memories he cherished of her as a son.
