Four generations of women from the small village of Jablonia Panica, on the Slovak-Hungarian border, are bound together by family memories, unusual stories and a name passed down through the generations: Kornélie.
In this close-knit rural community, everyday life is filled with tales of ancestors, eccentric villagers, women believed to possess magical powers, traditional wisdom and the healing properties of herbs. The narrator, Alma, the author's literary alter ego, gathers the tragic and humorous experiences of the women in her family, preserving stories that might otherwise disappear.
Their recollections reveal lives shaped by love and death, the experiences of Hungarians living in Slovakia, the search for personal identity and the powerful bonds between generations. Women's intuition, resilience and inherited knowledge help them endure hardship and understand their place within the family and the wider community.
Drawing on family history and memories, this poetic novel celebrates rural life, the extraordinary hidden within the everyday and the strength of women whose experiences continue to influence their descendants

Marcel Oreba earns his living as a handyman, repairing broken appliances, dripping taps and other household problems. When a routine job takes him to the seemingly ordinary home of the Michl family, he quickly senses that something is seriously wrong. An uncomfortable silence hangs between the parents, a cupboard in the cellar seems best left unopened, and the disappearance of their son Kája is mentioned only in guarded hints.
Marcel is neither a detective nor a hero. He has a wife, a young son and his own family difficulties, including divorced parents. Nevertheless, he cannot ignore what he has discovered and decides to investigate Kája's disappearance himself.
His enquiries take him across the town, from a secondary school and library to an underground factory and encounters with eccentric local residents. Many people appear to know more than they are prepared to reveal.
When Marcel discovers a connection between Kája's disappearance and a violent murder in a park, he realises that the mystery extends far beyond one missing young man. As he approaches the truth, the investigation becomes increasingly dangerous, threatening not only his own safety but also the family he is desperate to protect

Kin Arad is a planetary engineer working for the Company, an organisation capable of constructing entire worlds. After more than two centuries of life, she believes she has seen virtually everything the universe can offer. But the discovery of an extraordinary flat world challenges everything she knows about planetary engineering and the nature of reality.
Accompanied by Marco, a four-armed alien, and Silver, a formidable member of another extraterrestrial species, Kin embarks on an expedition to investigate this impossible creation. Who built it, what purpose does it serve, and what secrets lie behind its existence?
Their journey takes them into a strange world where familiar assumptions about history, civilisation and the universe cannot be trusted. Combining imaginative science fiction, adventure, philosophical questions and Terry Pratchett's distinctive humour, Strata explores the mysteries of creation and the origins of reality. Written before the celebrated Discworld series, the novel offers an early glimpse of the ideas that would later define Pratchett's work
