Als de dieren
In Als de dieren onderzoekt een vrouw wat haar is overkomen na de geboorte van haar eerste kind – een ervaring zo donker dat ze zich tegen taal en betekenis verzet. In het dierenrijk, in oude mythes, in foto’s, e-mails en zelfs boodschappenlijstjes uit haar kraamtijd, zoekt de vrouw naar houvast. Hoe word je, lang nadat je je kind op de wereld hebt gezet, alsnog moeder? En hoe verenig je opnieuw de brokstukken van een mens, nadat die uit elkaar is gevallen?

Măi, fetelor (It’s Both Heaven and Hell Here. Moldova: a Century of Lived History)
There are few places across Europe which have had the tumultuous story of Moldova in the 20th and 21st centuries. My greatgrandmother, for instance, spent most of her life in the same village while living in four different countries: she was born in the Russian Empire, went to school in Romania, resisted collectivisation and eventually gave in during the Soviet era, and got retired in the independent Republic of Moldova. I share her story in this book, as well as stories of other people with different backgrounds I interviewed, in an effort to create a polyphonic view of Moldova’s recent history. Chronologically, the book starts with the 1903 infamous Chisinau pogrom and it ends with the 2022 refugee crisis caused by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Geographically, the stories are rooted in Moldova but they cover the whole world thanks to the processes of migration that characterised all of the communities described in this book — Jewish, Roma, Armenian, Moldovan, Ukrainian, Russian etc. — at different points during history.

Exodul mieilor (The Exodus of The Lambs)
Ficțiunea istorică „Exodul mieilor” pornește de la urmările masacrului comis asupra unei comunități din vestul României, imediat după semnarea Dictatului de la Viena, în anul 1940. Începutul celui de-Al Doilea Război Mondial îi găsește pe Domnica și pe frații Romi și Miculuș la castelul familiei Teleki, acolo unde muncesc ca servitori. Imediat ce află că satul lor a fost atacat, ei pornesc la drum pentru a-și salva mama. Doar că singura cale de scăpare de trupele horthyste înarmate este rețeaua de tuneluri subterane săpate între cetățile Transilvaniei (la începutul cărții există o hartă a acestei rețele), în care refugiații români își caută familiile și calea spre libertate. În Subtărâm au loc confruntări de tot felul, pentru că nu toate galeriile au fost finalizate, proviziile din cămări lipsesc, iar o iscoadă trimisă de maghiari strecoară la interior un sac cu dinamită. În paralel cu drama refugiaților se împletește și povestea de dragoste dintre Romi și Domnica, care se rătăcesc unul de celălalt. Domnica rămâne ostatică într-un cătun locuit de un grup de spioni ruși, în timp ce Romi e urmărit de fiul contelui Teleki și de soldații acestuia.
„Exodul mieilor” nu este doar o poveste alertă despre drumuri și hotare, ci și genul de roman care deschide dialoguri pe teme precum exilul, memoria colectivă și drepturile femeilor, îndemnându-ne la final să ne întrebăm: ce preț suntem dispuși să plătim pentru libertate și ce moștenire alegem să lăsăm generațiilor viitoare?

De stem van Sulina
Een lyrische roman over de geboorte van een moeder, zwervende zielen en de ziel van het zwerven, geschreven met de stuwende kracht van een wereldrivier.
Terwijl een donkere schaduw over de weerkaarten van Midden-Europa glijdt, reist een vrouw in een busje langs de oevers van de Donau, van de bron in het Zwarte Woud tot de monding in de Zwarte Zee. Welke stemmen stijgen op uit de rivier?
Archeologische opgravingen en eeuwenoude verhalen, confronterende vragen en dromen, lichamelijke transformaties en vergeten vrouwen geven richting aan de mentale reis van een jonge schrijfster die moeder wordt.
