Miezul inimii

Miezul inimii looks at love, tender care, and events with no clear answers. Ioana Nicolaie moves from life as a child to her teens and adult years. Secrets and the things people share show pain and mystery. This work of fiction looks at inner life and private thoughts and acts.

Nicolaie also thinks about her sense of herself as a writer. She recalls how she would paint, farm, and sew towels. She thinks the revolution gave her the chance to attend university. Without it, she thinks she might never have written her books. She might have worked in a factory that made knitwear instead. Or she might have earned her living by sewing.
