Egyszerű történet vessző száz oldal – a kardozós változat

A historical novel set in the seventeenth century and written in the twenty-first. It tells of a hard woman who knows how to love and so also how to hate, of God and of her tomcat called Gizi, and of men: one of them is a Pál Nyáry, who cannot be the nineteenth-century figure of that name, another a maker of silent carriages who happens to share his name with a contemporary Austrian writer. A cook knows the great menus by heart, like the Lord's Prayer, and his speciality is a seafood pilaf. A Prince Croy has people watched and has reports written that he may never read.
