This 1987 Hungarian novel in the modernist tradition combines emotionality and literary quality in the story of two women, a writer and her housekeeper. While responding to her own needs for recognition and acceptance as an artist, the writer encourages her very private housekeeper to emerge from inner isolation. But when the housekeeper becomes ill and dies, the writer is not available to her. The book serves as the writer's apology for neglecting her human responsibilities.
