Ever since I visited Hungary many years ago, I've wanted to read a novel by a Hungarian. This looks like it could be very good!

This book was intense, beautifully written, and depicts time and place so acutely that I felt I was right there in each moment. I picked this book up with zero idea what it was about, but honestly because I was intrigued by the cover and the title. I have no idea exactly what to think of Emerence, but I felt like I knew her. I think this author very expertly depicts the complexity of what it means to be a person, what it means to know someone, and how complicated love can look.
