The mother of two chicories (Mămica la două albăstrele) - Doina Ruști
Polirom Publishing, 2013 (Romanian)

From the perspective of narrative techniques, the novel is a gem. The author slips into the skin of each character without ostentation, and the result being a refined psychological and contextual analysis.

What Cristian Mungiu's guys do in the Romanian cinema, she [Doina Ruști] does in literature, alone.

The mother of two chicories is a novel that is read at once, full of surprises, that leaves you with a slightly bitter taste because was ended too soon ... It's a book about these days, and about the story of man who is in a constant search for that something else.
