Finding Klára
The books Clara read on her journey — from trying to fix her marriage, to naming what was happening, to finding her way back to herself. Curated by Orsi Párkányi.
Clara read these first — trying to be a better wife, to save what she thought was worth saving. Every woman who has been where she was will recognise this shelf.
