Synopsis

This concise work follows a troubled young villager who leaves for the comfortable anonymity of the city, seeking respite. That fragile calm is disrupted by the arrival of his boyhood love, accompanied by her husband and child.

Kristóf’s writing is presented through stark vignettes reported in unflinching detail, described as having a cool, disturbing power that feels part documentary-like and part surreal. Categorised as literature and fiction, it suits readers looking for a brief, intense novella.
