Gurubi Ágnes - Szív utca (2021)

The past catches up with us all eventually. It echoes there in our passionate sentences, in our broken relationships, in our inexplicable physical symptoms. In order to realize that our very present life is interwoven with the past, we have to start getting to know each other. Getting to know the sorrows, joys, sufferings, and losses of our mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers. From these, as small pieces of truth, we can finally put together the formula of our destiny. We can understand our decisions, our affections, our choices. Let's go back to Szív utca, because we also have Szív utca! Let's ask, research, and remember, as Ágnes Gurubi does in this captivating family novel, which takes us along, as if we were watching a colorful, widescreen movie. Just like the past, the history of Szív utca does not pass without a trace. His images and characters keep popping up days and weeks later, exactly as happens with the best novels.
