It was originally in Hungarian, and this is the English translation. The blurb urged me to read the book, and so here I am! Many thanks to the author, Peter Fritsi, for the ARC!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out the blurb.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a rainy Hungarian mining town in 1979, Ria lies awake listening for her husband to come home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By morning, she knows her marriage is over. Her husband J\u00e1nos-once charismatic, ambitious, and full of life-has become unpredictable, reckless, and increasingly absent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She believes the hardest part will be leaving him. Instead, she finds herself trapped in a bitter struggle over money, property, and custody of their young son, while J\u00e1nos and his domineering mother work to dismantle the life she built piece by piece.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isolated and increasingly desperate, Ria finds herself fighting for her dignity, her livelihood, and her grip on reality itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Black Heart is a powerful family drama about marriage, motherhood, and the brutal cost of survival.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">P\u00e9ter Fritsi\u2019s <em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/link.amazon\/B0gBr2vHx\">Black Heart<\/a><\/em><\/em> is a gripping domestic thriller that masterfully showcases the terrifying reality of a marriage gone toxic. The story revolves around Ria, a woman who reaches a painful realisation that her marriage to her husband, J\u00e1nos, is completely over. Gathering whatever little courage, she files for divorce. However, what she hopes will be a clean break quickly transforms into a waking nightmare. J\u00e1nos refuses to let her leave peacefully, vowing to make her suffer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The novel is about a brutal, emotionally exhausting custody battle for their young son. Fritsi brilliantly captures the heavy, claustrophobic atmosphere of a domestic war zone. Ria is a deeply sympathetic protagonist. As she attempts to maintain some semblance of normalcy, working her job and caring for her son, she is relentlessly compromised at every turn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make matters worse, her mother-in-law joins in and tries to isolate Ria. The book highlights how the wounds of domestic abuse begin with words. Fritsi\u2019s writing is unapologetic, forcing the reader to feel Ria\u2019s desperation and her fierce instinct to protect her son.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/link.amazon\/B0gBr2vHx\">Black Heart<\/a><\/em> is a slow-burn domestic thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat, highlighting the extent to which Ria goes to keep her son and to survive this ordeal. An impressive read.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/link.amazon\/B0gBr2vHx\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"736\" height=\"211\" src=\"https:\/\/bookvue.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/buybutton_now4_final-1.png?w=736\" alt=\"Buy Shivaji- The Great Maratha by Ranjit Desai now!\" class=\"wp-image-4930\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3.4881516587677726;width:329px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookvue.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/buybutton_now4_final-1.png?w=736 736w, https:\/\/bookvue.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/buybutton_now4_final-1.png?w=150 150w, https:\/\/bookvue.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/buybutton_now4_final-1.png?w=650 650w, https:\/\/bookvue.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/buybutton_now4_final-1.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bookvue.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/buybutton_now4_final-1.png?w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/bookvue.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/buybutton_now4_final-1.png?w=1440 1440w, https:\/\/bookvue.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/buybutton_now4_final-1.png 1443w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title:\u00a0Black HeartAuthor: Peter FritsiGenre: Contemporary FictionPublisher: Vulpine Press Rating: 3.8\/5 Hello, hello!
