Suet624 I didn't realize just how many novels Szabo wrote. Apparently I need to do a bit of shopping. 1y

Simona @LeahBergen @Amiable @charl08 Day after and I still feel the sugar rush 😁 1y

Simona @BarbaraBB I‘m on 70% and I‘m not completely sure if it‘s pick🤔 1y

Simona @Suet624 I don‘t know how many of her books have been translated into English, but yes, she was prolific writer. 1y

3⭐️ Not my favorite Szabo 😑 I didn‘t enjoy the jumping around bits. It‘s an inner monologue addressed to the narrator‘s dead lover. The narrator is Eszter Enczy, an actress who really dislikes her friend Angela she‘s practically consumed by hatred 🔥 It took me a while to connect with Eszter although her bitterness tired me down. An interesting way of story-telling but not so much on the reading enjoyment

I have been reading this book for 10 days and I just crossed the halfway mark. When one‘s mood doesn‘t not fit the book and vice versa….

I enjoyed how this story was structured, a long confessional letter written by a famous actress - an enigmatic, iron-willed woman - to an (at least until the end) unknown recipient, attempting to explain herself after a lifetime of walling herself off from the outside world. Eszter can be petty, resentful, and vindictive at times, but also charismatic, strong, and sympathetic, very much a product of her upbringing, which she's never been able 👇

The_Penniless_Author ...to fully leave behind. Eszter looks back on 30 years of her life with brutal, unsparing honesty, which made me rather fond of her, even when admitting to some horrible thought or deed. A fully "alive" character if ever there was one. 2y

I wanted to be here sooner, but I had to wait for Gyurica and you know he's always late; he said he'd be with me by nine but it was well after eleven when I saw him stepping through the door.
