Author's meeting with Monika Pryśko (Textual) and Karolina Głogowska

About women who have the courage to start over. Monika Pryśko and Karolina Głogowska are writers who in their books tell about women standing at the crossroads of life, facing the past, relationships, traumas and the search for their own path. Although they work in a variety of genres — from folk noir and psychological thriller to contemporary morality literature — their heroines share one thing: a desire to regain voice, agency and hope. This is a meeting for female readers who love emotional stories, are interested in women's fate, locality, psychology of relationships and the power of literature telling about real life.

This is the story of a woman who, after a life crisis, tries to find herself anew and is convinced that even after the biggest storm, you can start from the beginning.
