Toată dragostea dintr-o fotografie arsă (All the Love in a Burnt Photograph)

Toată dragostea dintr-o fotografie arsă pune reflectorul pe relația a trei generații de femei, care înțeleg lumea în moduri aproape incompatibile unul cu celălalt. Familia și echilibrul ei precar sunt zdruncinate de internarea bruscă a celei mai vârstnice dintre ele. Fricile paralizante capătă contur în apropierea morții iminente. Mecanismele lor de apărare, mai ales felurile în care fiecare parazitează viața celeilalte, în numele datoriei și al iubirii materne, ies la suprafață. Iar Leia, aflată la mijlocul distanței este cea care înregistrează schimbările, cea care cerne realitatea, se străduiește să o transcrie și să-i dea un sens, cea care își negociază constant identitatea, în încercarea de a descoperi cine rămâne în afara rolurilor de fiică și de mamă și de a găsi un drum spre liman. (Eli Bădică, editoare)

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.
