„Alva and Irva“ 

The novel can be compared to a deliberate discussion about reality, the environment surrounding us, about how people cling to the past, and how they characterize themselves. The author subtly involves the readers in the real world, in how we people live secret lives, how we are trying to escape the chaos and to get in trim – and how time often plays such tricks…

Alva and Irva are twin sisters living in the city of Entralla. The novel’s heroines belong together and cannot survive without each other. Alva is by nature an explorer; Irva is anchored at home and agoraphobic. When Irva refuses to leave the house, Alva, attempting to return Irva to life, brings the city of Entralla into their home - she wanders its streets, observing, taking notes, measuring, and reports her findings to Irva, who constructs a miniature Entralla.
