Abigail

The personal and political are so intertwined in this story. I'm curious how much of Abigail's inner world is shaped by the country's changes and vice versa.

Her growth felt both delicate and profound, but I wonder if others saw her evolution as a mirror to their own journeys or to Hungary's history.

The intimacy of first person makes the historical context feel personal. I'm curious whether Szabó planned this perspective from the start or discovered it during writing.
