Giroflé és Girofla: Regény (2. kötet)

Set against the faded glamour of Szilas‑Almás, a once‑fashionable spa turned modest retreat, the story follows a lively cast of characters who gather around its bubbling mud baths and bustling casino. The town’s eccentric aristocrats, hopeful entrepreneurs, and free‑spirited locals clash over grand plans for festivals, horse races and tennis courts, while the quiet charm of the water’s heat steadies their restless ambitions.

Among them, a witty young woman from the Van der Kerkhoven family navigates a world of whispered flirtations and whispered schemes, drawing both criticism and admiration from her friends Terka and Vidovics. Their banter, peppered with clever wordplay and gentle satire, reveals the quirks of a society striving to cling to past splendor while confronting inevitable change. Listeners will be drawn into the humor, the romantic undercurrents, and the tender portrait of a community caught between nostalgia and new possibilities.
