The main characters in HoneymOon are a woman, a man, a vision and a leg—as well as many of the despised Trabants abandoned by East Germans on their journey westwards through the streets of Budapest. It is a book about what the first weeks of marriage are like when each partner spends them in a different place. Oona, a girl lying in hospital, decides to start writing a diary. In the country around her huge changes are taking place. Older memories mix with her daily records, the first person narrative mixes with the third, the time before her illness with her notes from hospital. After reading it several times her lover, Maté, adds his own notes to her diary.
