Viața e a mea (This Life is Mine)
Roman scris sub formă de policier, Viaţa e a mea descrie relaţiile dintre trei femei de provenienţă socială diferită: Angela Pop, galeristă (şi proaspătă mamă), Greta Roth, poliţist la Omucideri şi Carla [Razia], lucrătoare sexuală. Suferind de depresie postnatală, Angela resimte acut nevoia de control, nevoie care ia forma, finalmente, a unei instalaţii pe care protagonista o concepe, cu titlul „Viaţa e a mea”, dedicată fiicei sale, Eliza, şi surorii sale, Raisa. În planul ei intră Carla, pe care o întâlneşte întâmplător în una dintre ieşirile în oraş, şi un fost coleg de facultate, jurnalistul Lazăr Mitrea. Carla este, însă, şi iubita – pentru o scurtă perioadă de timp – a Gretei, poliţista desemnată să investigheze moartea suspectă a Angelei Pop.
Diversele linii narative se ţes în jurul acestei dileme: este moartea Angelei omucidere sau sinucidere? Dacă este crimă, cine este vinovatul? Sunt mai mulţi complici? Suspecţii cazului devin toţi apropiaţii „victimei”. Suspiciunea şi tensiunea, narativă şi între personaje, se menţine până la final, când aflăm că Angela Pop instrumentase toate relaţiile pentru a-şi duce la bun sfârşit planul: instalaţia-manifest. Dorinţa de sinucidere şi semnele degradării psihice ale personajului sunt presărate de-a lungul romanului, însă ele nu duc direct la concluzia că aceasta ar fi fost opţiunea Angelei, aşa încât dilema crimă-sinucidere se menţine până la finalul cărţii.
Viaţa e a mea deconstruieşte stereotipurile şi prejudecăţi legate de familie, de gen, de sexualitate sau de tulburări psihice. Romanul se încheie, astfel, cu un manifest care invită la reflecţie, acceptare, înţelegere şi empatie.

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.
