The translation and forthcoming publication of Rita Halász's novel Mély levegő - Deep Breath translated by Kris Herbert has been reviewed in Publisher's Weekly. The full article is available on the Publisher's Weekly website.
"Halász’s intelligent debut novel chronicles a fractured marriage in contemporary Budapest. Vera, an animator, flees her verbally and physically abusive husband, Péter, and relocates to her father’s house with her two young daughters. She and Péter had tried couples therapy in an effort to make the marriage work for the sake of the children, but as she reflects on Péter’s abuse and her resultant insomnia, she considers a divorce."
