Krisztina Tóth's first substantial work in prose after four
volumes of remarkable verse, consists of fifteen beautifully
written and highly sensual short stories. Most are narrated with
poetic intensity and intimacy from a young, unnamed female
narrator's point of view. Whether about childhood acquaintances,
school camps and trips, or love and deceit in love, they are all
are set against the backdrop of Hungary's socialist era in its
declining years. The stories are carefully strung, like jewels in a
necklace, along metaphorical 'lines', as in the title of the
collection and the subtitle of the pieces. The losses,
disappointments, and tragedies great and small recounted here offer
nuanced 'mirrorings' of the female soul and linger long in the
memory.
