Lawyer and avid reader of contemporary literary fiction. My professional life in Budapest is demanding, so I use reading as a form of intellectual escapism. I’m drawn to complex, character-driven novels that tackle modern societal issues. I’m a regular attendee of the Budapest International Book Festival and love discussing the 'Man Booker' longlist with anyone who will listen. My profile is a mix of courthouse outfits and my latest 'five-star' reads. I believe that literature is the most powerful tool for empathy and understanding in a fractured world.
