Beautiful adaption with Helen Mirren! Streaming on Amazon.
I appreciate the complicated & raw relationship between the two women.

This book was a trip. The narrator is a social worker who mostly works with children (I think). I enjoyed this behind-the-scenes look, the disjointed nature of the narrator‘s thoughts. Social work, work with the public in general, can you leave you feeling jaded and cynical, and maybe even a little deadened to things that should shock you. I look forward to reading more by Konrad. 241/1,001 #1001Books
My favorite way to read: with Loki in my lap and a cold beer by my side. 🍺🐾

Interesting historical fiction novel about Emma and her family.

Whilst I liked the premise...I wasn't thrilled with the the execution and for me the story fell flat. I prefer a character driven read and this one was just a little too much world building and too little character growth.
Really powerful, but hard to review, especially in this condensed context. Kertész, a non-religious Jewish Hungarian, was a concentration camp survivor, entering the camps at age 14 (and lying about his age). This is a fictional parallel experience, deviant in that our narrator doesn‘t judge as we do, but takes things as they come, processing them in his own practical way. He‘s young enough that this is, in a way, his only reality.

One of my favourite quote from a Hungarian book:
,,Those who love each other, search each other. Even if the wind blows them apart, they coming back on their knees. If the sea aparts them, they send their souls throught the ocean: they meet in letter."
