WE ALL LEAVE
We All Leave – a thriller Shortlisted for the 2025 Margó Prize for Best Debut Novel, We All Leave is more than a mystery about a luxury villa, a tight-knit group of friends, and a shocking crime. It’s also a sharp, unsettling portrait of contemporary Hungary. Set on the shores of Lake Balaton, the novel explores what it means to live under a corrupt political system—and the personal price of power in a world where money, influence, and loyalty seem to outweigh everything else. At the same time, We All Leave is a generational story. It speaks openly about the choice between staying or leaving the country, the challenges of infertility and starting a family, and the fragile boundaries between friendship, ambition, and morality.
