The Palisander Guitar (2018) was shortlisted for the European Literature Award.
The novel focuses on five female destinies. Seemingly centuries apart, each in its own world and in its own story, with its closed worlds evolving from myth and superstition to modern patterns of behavior and female emancipation, at the end of the novel these women will be connected in a great tale of mysterious relationships that are stretching through the centuries.
